WHAT WE DISCUSSED
As AI and generative AI reshape industries, they also redefine the threat landscape. Attack surfaces are expanding, regulations are tightening, and adversaries are becoming more sophisticated. For business leaders, the challenge is no longer just protecting systems—it’s ensuring that cybersecurity becomes a foundation for resilience, innovation, and growth.
This executive roundtable explored how intelligent, AI-driven defence strategies can transform cybersecurity from a reactive safeguard into a strategic advantage.
Together, we discussed:
- Designing resilience by default: embedding security into operations, cloud, and infrastructure from the ground up.
- Balancing innovation with risk: harnessing AI/GenAI’s potential while mitigating emerging vulnerabilities.
- Turning compliance into opportunity: aligning security, governance, and business agility to build trust and competitive edge.
With insights from peers and NTT DATA’s global experience in cyber resilience, this conversation went beyond the technical to address what matters most to senior leaders: how to lead confidently in an environment where intelligent defence is essential to long-term business resilience.”
