I'm lucky. I get to spend most of my time with some of the world's leading organisations talking about one thing: data security. And here's what I've learned, the challenges look completely different depending on the industry. Finance, Retail, Health, Defence, Automotive, Aviation, Pharma,, different data, different regulators, different ideas of what "acceptable risk" even means. But scratch beneath the surface and the same three questions come up every single time: Where does our sensitive data actually live? What can reach it? And is it controlled at the point AI touches it? So I took everything from hundreds of those conversations and pulled it into one framework: the Data Security Maturity Model. It's a practical, staged path for protecting data across every form of AI adoption built around three pillars: Discover, Protect, and Govern. A HUGE thank you to the CIOs, CISOs, infosec leaders, and GRC professionals around the world who shaped this with their honesty and insight. This is as much your work as it is mine. 🙏

Delighted to take part in the Cybersecurity Summit in New York today alongside the Forcepoint team. Unsurprisingly, AI and data security dominated every conversation, organisations are now treating them as inseparable pillars of their overall data and security strategy. A fantastic event and a clear snapshot of where the industry is heading. Proud that Forcepoint continues to lead from the front.
