With a wider scope and stricter enforcement, NIS2 extends its predecessor, overcoming its shortcomings and leaving more organisations scrambling to comply. As my Check Point colleague Martin Rutterford shares in CSO, “The journey towards NIS2 compliance directly aligns with broader cyber security goals by fostering a culture of continuous improvement. It forces organisations to adopt more robust security postures, enhance resilience, and improve threat detection and response capabilities, all of which contribute to strengthening overall security frameworks.” #cybersecurity #NIS2

This is the reality of the market at the moment: A highly experienced senior Channel Manager with a background spanning the UK & EMEA and a successful track record in managing local and regional channel sales teams is currently facing challenges in securing a new role. Despite his impressive background in working for major Cybersecurity vendors and a history of driving sales and team growth, he has encountered setbacks in his job search. Having received an offer for a senior role only for it to be rescinded last minute due to a hiring freeze by the new CRO and CFO, this professional has faced this situation six times already. It's a frustrating and challenging time for many individuals seeking new opportunities, as highlighted by the struggles faced by candidates daily. Navigating through the current landscape is indeed tough, with limitations on how much assistance can be provided to those in need. Despite the difficulties in finding the right fit, offering support to individuals on their job hunt remains a priority. The commitment to aiding individuals, even without an immediate vacancy, underscores the dedication to helping others during these trying times. #hiring #reality #itchannel #jobhunting #opentowork #jobs

It was fascinating to hear His Majesty the King discuss cybersecurity during his speech last week. Hearing the King mention the importance of safeguarding technology during his address goes to show how high it is on the agenda, and underlines the need for it to be a focus for all businesses in the coming years. Increased efficiency through increased use of AI is a key component of the new governments’ investment plans. The focus on new digital verification services to ensure security for common online services will not mitigate the challenge of personal credentials and user ID being stolen, and in fact will increase these services being targeted. The loss of credentials to threat actors is a key challenge for many businesses, and legislation to tackle against this is a priority area. #CyberSecurity #DataSecurity #Veritas #KingsSpeech
