If protecting some of the world’ s biggest organisations from bad actors was already a difficult job, AI has made it increasingly more so. Along with all the good things that came with the technology, it has democratised cybercrime and lowered the barrier to entry for cybercriminals. Throw in autonomous and machine-speed attacks into the mix and the picture looks dire. It takes incredible knowledge, leadership and planning to achieve resilience in such a treacherous landscape. A job which is gracefully handled by the many CISOs and leaders in cybersecurity, who work hard to keep hackers out of their enterprise ecosystems. Welcome to Cyber Magazine’ s list of the Top 100 Cyber Leaders who are securing companies from the many digital threats coming their way.
