Everyone knows cyber threats evolve rapidly, in both nature and scope. This trend will almost certainly continue, so how does the cybersecurity market need to evolve and change? Yet, it will not be enough for these changes to come in the private sector alone; the involvement of governments and not-for-profit entities will be critical in delivering the pace of adaptation necessary to match up to adversaries. This panel, representing a diverse mix of sectors and perspectives, will examine where they believe the threat landscape is heading, exemplified by specific use cases and observations, before turning to what most be done in the face of that change.
(This presentation forms part of the Threat Intelligence Practitioners’ Summit)
