Once again, cyber insecurity appears prominently in the World Economic Forum‘s Global Risks Report 2024. #Geopolitics, #digitalisation of #critical infrastructure and rapid technological advances are fueling the rapid expansion of the threat landscape. As stated in the report, the integration of advanced technologies is exposing a broader subset of the global population to potential digital and physical exploitation. In a world reliant on digital infrastructure, cybersecurity transcends being a technical challenge; it is vital for global economic security, stability, and growth. However, given the magnitude of the threats, we need to rethink our approach to cybersecurity. At Palo Alto Networks, we believe that to build cyber resilience, organisations must embed cybersecurity deep within their culture, strategy, and operations. This approach should be underpinned by an infrastructure that combines best-of-breed cybersecurity technology with a platform approach that harnesses the power of #AI to deliver #real-time security. This year's theme is "#RebuildingTrust", and together with our Chairman and CEO Nikesh Arora I'm looking forward to discussing how cybersecurity can be a transformative force by making each day safer and more secure than the one before. We protect for a better tomorrow! We've got next! #Cybersecurity #WEF24 #PaloAltoNetworks Nikesh Arora BJ Jenkins Lee Klarich Liane Hornsey Unnikrishnan KP Bruce Byrd Meerah Rajavel Patricia Murphy Madeleine Bourgoin Claire-Louise Green Amy MacBeath Jordi Botifoll Etienne Bonhomme Klaus Bürg Gavin Mee Norberto (Bert) Milan Ercan Aydin Milos Hrncar Olly Maskell Ian Roberts Liz Cane Jurriaan Bonebakker Katie Bianchi Nadine Sharon - Pattiapon Eric Stein Thierry Karsenti Michael Kelley Simon Green Matt Morgan Wendi Whitmore
