In an ever-growing world of lightning-speed technological advancements and unprecedented connectivity, the role of IT leaders and security leaders has never been more important. With complexity seeming to multiply year on year, the roles of CIOs, CTOs, CDOs and CISOs have become integral to not only business continuity but to business growth and expansion in the digital age.

Organisations are rapidly adopting AI and automation tools to enhance threat and anomaly detection and automate response systems. This is driven by the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks which are fuelled by emerging technologies like AI, IoT and Quantum Computing.

However the journey to ROI from these new technologies is proving to be far more challenging than first anticipated for many business leaders, and many are discovering that despite significant investment and effort, initiatives may fail to scale beyond prototype to production or to generate ROI. 

Join us and some of the interviewees from our research book on this topic for our dinner to explore some of the key areas of opportunity and challenge facing today’s leaders in a highly complex environment, both inside and outside their organisations.
