What is the cyber strategy that you recommend to mid-sized enterprises globally and in Asia?
So it’s really very similar for all organizations, whether they’re very big or very large, but security leaders really need to align their cybersecurity strategy with the business objectives and prior to the cybersecurity business-aligned program, and one of our core points is security strategy needs to evolve from an old, reactive and approach of detect, protect and defend to a strategy that really empowers security and the business to take a view of cybersecurity that’s aligned with the business decisions.
