KKR CISO Summit: Enabling Safe AI Adoption

Insights from Infoblox CEO Scott Harrell at GITEX Global 2025 Scott shared his strategic focus on how enterprises can move with speed and confidence in a world dominated by rapid change, particularly around AI, Cloud, and intensifying cyber threats. Key Takeaways for IT and Security Leaders: The Strategy is Speed: The Infoblox Core leadership strategy is centered on helping other companies go faster. For CEOs and CIOs, moving quickly on cloud adoption or AI initiatives requires automation, resiliency, and governance to ensure the enterprise isn't put at risk. Proactive DNS Security is Essential: The threat landscape is changing. Attackers are using AI for the mass personalization of attacks, making existing security tools—which are often reactive—insufficient. Infoblox leverages proactive DNS security to stop threats up to two months in advance of traditional reactive methods. Controlling Unsanctioned AI: A major challenge for leadership is governing AI usage. As every user can enable new tools, the focus shifts to how a CEO/CIO can control the use of sanctioned versus unsanctioned AI across the organization. Infoblox helps secure and govern this sprawl by offering asset visibility and control. The Infoblox Value: The platform is designed to unify network, cloud, and security operations into a cohesive system, providing the foundational layer that allows companies to operate at the speed required in the age of AI Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gzRuVvdh Scott Willock Chris Millerick Lisa Stockwell Rina T.

As GITEX Global 2025, all eyes are on Cyber Valley This year, I’m paying close attention to one conversation that matters more than ever: the bridge between the CISO and the Boardroom. At Cyber Valley, we’ll see: ✔️How agentic and autonomous AI are reshaping what “perimeter” even means ✔️And how talent ecosystems are aligning public and private sectors to close the leadership gap ✔️How the global CISO-to-NED pipeline must be formally recognised as essential to boardroom cyber smarts I’m particularly interested in hearing how others are shaping the Boardroom CISO dialogue to strengthen decision-making at the top. #GITEX2025 #CyberValley #CyberLeadership #Boardroom #CISO #CyberResilience #NED

#1 Accenture Acquires CyberCX: What It Signals for Cybersecurity in A/NZ The (not so) recent news that Accenture is acquiring CyberCX, one of the largest independent cybersecurity firms in Australia and New Zealand, is a defining moment for our region's cybersecurity landscape. CyberCX, formed from the merger of 12 firms and backed by BGH Capital, built remarkable scale and local trust in just a few years. Now, under the Accenture umbrella, its reach and influence will expand even further. With an estimated valuation north of A$1 billion, this deal isn’t just significant in scale; it’s symbolic of a deeper industry shift: 👉 from fragmented, localised providers 👉 to global, end-to-end platforms that offer everything from offensive security and managed SOCs to compliance and cloud risk services. As someone who’s spent years leading in this space, this acquisition resonates deeply. It reflects the increasing demand for integrated cybersecurity, where clients no longer want a patchwork of vendors, but cohesive, proactive solutions that can scale with their threat environment. 💭 But here's what I am thinking about: • What happens to smaller, niche firms like SeComPass Limited that can’t match this breadth? • Will consolidation limit diversity of thought and innovation — or will it raise the bar across the board? • And how do we, as regional leaders, preserve local expertise and trust in a market increasingly shaped by global giants? At its core, this is a wake-up call and an opportunity. For those of us in the A/NZ cybersecurity ecosystem, it’s a moment to reflect on our value, our positioning, and how we continue to add strategic impact in a rapidly changing market. 📣 I’d love to hear from others: How are you thinking about the ripple effects of this deal? Are we entering a golden era for regional cybersecurity — or a more competitive one? #CyberSecurity #MergersAndAcquisitions #CyberStrategy #ANZTech #Accenture #CyberCX #TechLeadership #ANZCyber
