Gartner Report: How to Respond to the Threat Landscape in a Volatile, Complex and Ambiguous World
1:28

Refine your cybersecurity strategies to navigate the challenges of a VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) environment.

According to Gartner, "Security and risk management leaders must refine their strategies to respond to threats in a VUCA world, as their organizations pursue digital transformations and criminals evolve their techniques."

From this report, gain insight on:

  • Prioritize emerging risks like AI vulnerabilities, focusing on effective validation and accepting residual risk when necessary.

  • Treat complex threats as ongoing challenges, not isolated events, and validate using diverse data sources.

  • Enhance detection and response to ambiguous threats, like supply chain attacks, by prioritizing behavioral detection over flashy features.

  • Focus on relevant threats with exposure management and threat intelligence, avoiding distractions from unverified claims.
