In this keynote presentation, Matt Boon, Senior Research Director at ADAPT emphasises the critical role of trust in effectively leveraging technology.

He draws attention to the potential risks associated with AI, highlighting the necessity of understanding and mitigating these risks while embracing the benefits of AI-driven advancements.

The key security outcomes for 2024, highlight governance, compliance, data security, and cyber awareness as top priorities.

There’s a recognition of the increasing complexity of security challenges and the need for technology to assist in addressing them efficiently.

Technology should be used to streamline processes and enhance data protection.

Key investments in areas like cyber awareness, third-party security, and tech modernisation are essential, reflecting a strategic alignment with broader organisational goals.

However, challenges like resource constraints and the effective allocation of budget and manpower to address security threats remain.

ADAPT’s Security Edge Survey indicates significant gaps in preparedness among organisations.

Despite recognising AI’s transformative potential, there’s a clear acknowledgment of barriers, including skill shortages and cultural readiness.

Addressing these challenges will require collaboration in the evolving technological landscape.

 

Key takeaways:

Trust in Technology: From the initial message delivery to ensuring product quality along the supply chain, will underpin effective technology leverage.

Risk Awareness in AI: The need to balance the benefits of AI with awareness of potential risks, driving a cautious approach to its integration.

Security Priorities for 2024: Governance, compliance, data security, and cyber awareness stand out as top priorities for security in 2024, reflecting the increasing complexity of security challenges and the imperative to address them efficiently with technological assistance.
