The new paradigm: a concentration of data in AI demands greater vigilance

The 1980s were a far cry from what life looks like today. If you weren’t around, you probably don’t remember using paper maps to navigate, renting VHS movies at Blockbuster, printing photos from film, or calling people to talk on their landline phones.

You may also not know that cybersecurity was a thing back then – but even that looked much different than it does today. The early hackers (yes, I was one of them) were motivated by curiosity and the thrill of testing system boundaries. Worries about large-scale cybercrime or widespread threats were largely absent.

Today, the stakes are dramatically higher. Data has become the crown jewel of every organization and a high-value target of the most ambitious cybercriminals. As such, protecting data is at the heart and mind of every enterprise CISO, and the number one priority of every security team.
