SONICWALL

TERRY GREER-KING , VP EMEA , SONICWALL

as ‘ pushing security beyond the limits of human ability ’. In fact , with its Boundless Cybersecurity strategy , the company can collect data points across 215 countries and apply the aforementioned machine learning or artificial intelligence ( AI ) algorithms to detect and respond quickly to cyber threats . Capable of actioning these processes in real-time , SonicWall claims to be able to resolve 80 % of cyber attacks in less than two seconds .

Greer-King adds that although SonicWall ’ s investment in technology has been “ huge ,” there is another highly important aspect to its approach : understanding . The impact of culture on cybersecurity is arguably of a similar magnitude to the purely technical , and successfully communicating the philosophical divergence between previous iterations of security and the modern dynamic is essential . “ Previously we sold ‘ padlocks ’ against viruses , but you can ’ t stop bad guys from doing bad things . What you can do is understand the way your business operates and plan for the future . If you can understand the threats inherent in the way that your business operates , then you can start to prioritise risk .”
