Long before cybersecurity and data breaches became mainstream, founder and CEO of SPHERE Technology Solutions, Rita Gurevich built a thriving business on the premise of assisting organizations secure their most sensitive data from within, instead of securing the perimeter from outside attackers.
And because of her multi-faceted experiences interacting with the C-Suite, technology vendors, and others in the business community, we thought listening to her singular perspective would be well worth our time.
What stood out in our podcast interview? When others are concerned about limited security budgets, Gurevich envisioned more hands on deck in the field of information security. The reason is that there are more and varied threats, oversaturated vendors in the marketplace, and a cybersecurity workforce shortage.
“What I see happening is that there’s going to be subject matter CISOs across the company; where there will be many people with that title that become experts in very specific domains.”
Also, now that cybersecurity concerns are not as industry specific, Gurevich does recognize that there are certain industries that are more at risk than others.
She approaches all industries with varying degrees of risk and threats, compliance requirements, and disparate systems all in a strategic way – by giving organizations the visibility into their data and systems, what they need to protect and how they need to protect it. |
