Having unveiled impressive office accommodation in the heart of London’s business district, it’s clear Palo Alto Networks is betting big on the UK. The cybersecurity heavyweight is investing heavily on British shores in a bid to support the market’s expanding customer base, and the opening of new headquarters in the capital represents further proof of that. Over the next five years, Palo Alto Networks has pledged to recruit almost 500 cybersecurity specialists, including engineers, sales teams, customer support staff and Unit 42 Threat Intelligence researchers, who will be based at the London site. “As the UK works towards achieving the government’s ambition of becoming a technology and scientific superpower by 2030, cybersecurity will be critical to its success,” said Helmut Reisinger, CEO for the EMEA and LATAM regions at Palo Alto Networks. “As new technologies transform how organisations across the UK operate, they are fueling a rapid increase in cyber threats that directly impact the levels of resilience and trust in an interconnected economy. “We are thrilled to welcome our customers, partners and employees to our new headquarters in London, and we look forward to expanding our UK operations as we invest to safeguard the the country’s digital future.” #Cybersecurity #Innovation #Expansion

🚀 In a strategic move, Paris is taking a stand to secure key technologies by offering to purchase Atos' big data and cybersecurity departments. This preemptive action symbolizes a broader shift towards protecting technological sovereignty, ensuring critical infrastructure remains under national control. 🏛️ Such a maneuver will not only safeguard sensitive data but promote further innovation within France's borders. 🌐 Countries worldwide might follow suit, emphasizing self-reliance in the rapidly evolving tech landscape. Expectations are that this decision will drive increased investments in local tech talent, fostering an ecosystem where homegrown solutions thrive over foreign dependencies. 🔍 In the long run, keeping major tech competencies close to home may lead to a resurgence of national pride in technological advancements. 🇫🇷📊 The strategic foresight demonstrated here could indeed pave the way for a more secure and robust technological future. #TechSovereignty #CyberSecurity #Innovation #DataProtection #FranceTech #DigitalTransformation

As we navigate the increasingly dynamic landscape of the #digital era, one thing is crystal clear—the future of the #EuropeanUnion depends on the choices we make today! Amidst the recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, along with other global events and geopolitical movements, it is crucial to stay one step ahead and identify the challenges and opportunities that will shape our path ahead. And guess what? Throughout this decade, the EU, as well as other structures like #NATO, are seriously investing in research and innovation, with a focus on the digital transformations of our economies and societies. The interconnectedness of intelligent systems, coupled with the rapid advancement of technology, somehow nudges us to keep pace and be prepared for the associated risks. Yet, with a bit of creativity and determination, I truly believe that exciting #projects can be pursued. And the possibilities are limitless! Imagine a future where our connected world not only converges industries, products, and technologies but also propels us toward greater automation and optimization in everyday life but simultaneously enjoying the sense of security and safety. When I joined the National Cyber Security Directorate, I felt that interesting things could be accomplished because we are truly living in captivating times. It would be such a pity to have a short-term vision. I felt driven to write all this because I observe wonderful international initiatives that deserve exploration, and likewise, the National Cybersecurity Directorate community steps into the new year with an extraordinary desire to undertake large-scale projects. Just leave me a comment or send me a message if you are ready to get involved in exciting projects, share ideas, and contribute to shaping the future of cybersecurity together! #Cybersecurity #Innovation #CollaborateForChange #DigitalFuture #digitaleurope

We had a great week at CyberCon Melbourne 2023! We were busy but we made it successfully together as a team - Dr. Hussain Aldawood and Betania Allo. Thank you for being part of the journey! I am very pleased with given opportunity to share a knowledge and experience on designing, tailoring and implementing industrial cybersecurity solutions to protect critical infrastructure. Our team discussed and promoted innovative and disruptive strategy of connecting industrial cybersecurity practice with operation that represents a game changer in the market. This strategy works in practice and brings multiple benefits: It is enabling us to keep understanding and validating industrial operations in a structural way. It is helping us to manage cybersecurity and operational risks together in coordinated fashion. It is eliminating work silos that historically exist between cybersecurity and operational teams while promoting teamwork and collaboration. It is allowing us to define and deliver our target state based on extracting real-time information and transferring into intelligence that empowers internal and external stakeholders to focus on protecting critical infrastructure. Our innovative strategy is our opportunity that has been promoted within the cybersecurity community in Australia. This can also be your opportunity! I am so glad we had such privilege to meet and connect with many of you and we will continue to do so. Mesfer Almesfer مسفر القحطاني , thanks for being enabler and supporter so we could promote our ideas and solutions at the global stage. We will keep progressing, improving and innovating! Thanks everyone! #cybercon2023 #industrialcybersecurity #criticalinfrastructure #innovation #icssecurity #otsecurity #iotsecurity #criticalinfrastructureprotection

We are not the best kept secret in the industry. By “we” I’m talking about NCC Group North America I just returned home after a really incredible two days with the NCC NA Team in Chicago. Not only did we have the opportunity to learn from one another in the same physical location, but we got to collaborate with leaders like 🌎 Michael M. and 👠Carolyn Hieken. It’s somethin’ about an in-person event that really puts a fire in your belly and rallies the troops. So— why are we NOT the best kept secret? We contribute deep technical knowledge through our research arm, public reports of work performed for some of our biggest partners, and picking the brain of our well-versed consultants. Topics like… 👉 Operational Tech 👉 Generative AI 👉 Crypto …and that’s just brushing the surface. With a recent shift (for me), my goal is to help elevate the cyber maturity of healthcare organizations to… 💡 align with HIPAA requirements 💡 address third party risk holistically 💡 unpack OT/IT and take meaningful action 💡 be a partner should an incident occur (and in the event one doesn’t occur, we can get moving on some key proactive efforts) 💡 manage your detection & response operations to avoid your dedicated employees from burning out due to alert fatigue Ch3ck the c0mments for some of our work 👇 #cybersecurity #healthcare
