T he first two decades of the 21st century have borne witness to dramatic and unilateral change of a scope and scale seldom seen before . Ubiquitous mobile devices , the rise of artificial intelligence and the sweeping digitalization of the global landscape have , even in the last decade , brought about dramatic and constant reinvention of the way businesses operate . In few places is this transformation more pronounced than the field of cybersecurity .
From sophisticated phishing attacks and ransomware to high-profile data breaches , perpetrated by nation-state funded groups of cyber criminals , and direct interference in democratic elections , the war against digital crime has never been waged more fiercely . Colin Carmichael , CIO of leading cybersecurity firm FireEye , lives and works in the heart of this conflict . “ We live and breathe on the front lines of cybersecurity every day here at FireEye ,” he says . “ FireEye is called into the biggest breaches all over the world . We see , first hand , what ’ s going on and what the bad guys are up to .”
