Security and risk management leaders must refine their strategies to respond to threats in a VUCA world, as their organizations pursue digital transformations and criminals evolve their techniques. Per Gartner, they should: 🔸 “Prioritize initiatives to address volatile threats, such as attacks against AI applications, as attackers quickly progress in their ability to exploit weaknesses.” 🔸 “Treat the most complex threats as a series rather than a single entity. Adapt to microtrends and evolution, and invest in extra communication efforts.” 🔸 “Invest in exposure management and threat intelligence to identify the most relevant threats to their organization and avoid potential distraction from unconfirmed and unverifiable claims.” Download the latest Gartner® Research: How To Respond to the Threat Landscape in a Volatile, Complex, and Ambiguous World, to learn more. https://lnkd.in/dRnf6JgH #ThreatIntelligence
