I am very surprised that no one (yet) has picked the answer of incorporating new technologies, including the governance and implementation of genai and other toolsets...
Why do you think this is? I am hearing from a lot CISOs about genai challenges and especially governance issues.
Greatest challenge is to have 'brains in front of the screen'. Brains that effectively utilise and attain real value of money spent in having those dozens of existing security tools already deployed, with an opex running in millions in licensing costs.
On the contrary I have seen organisations continue to buy more and more of the shiny new toys without thinking of spending on human resources that will be required to operationalise them , derive key risk or performance indicators from them, that leaders can then show on their executive briefings and board dashboards.
Spending on gadgets is somehow seen as an easier job during annual budgeting than making a business case for hiring an inhouse resource focused on having in-depth knowledge of 2-3 security tools at max rather than having a generalist having superficial knowledge about 10.
