My perspective on the proposed Google -Wiz deal: This acquisition is huge news for the industry with a hefty price tag of $23 billion. It marks a significant shift in the cloud security landscape. Considering the motivations for both companies. Google first : Solidifying Security Command Center: This acquisition strengthens Google's Security Command Center (SCC) adding Wiz's (CSPM)multicloud security capabilities. This directly challenges Microsoft Sentinel / Defender in the SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and CSPM market, offering a compelling multi-cloud alternative. Pricing Model Synergy: Google's asset-based pricing for SCC aligns perfectly with Wiz's agent-less scanning. Integration could streamline pricing and incentivise customer adoption of a combined solution. Land and Expand: Google gains access to Wiz's established customer base, many of whom might not yet use a SIEM. Integrating Wiz's features can attract these customers, facilitating a "land and expand" strategy for Google Cloud adoption. Keeping Pace with the Cloud Giants: AWS and Microsoft Defender already offer agentless vulnerability scanning. Acquiring Wiz ensures Google remains competitive in the cloud-native security arena. This move helps Google close the gap with its major rivals. Enhanced Security Feature Set: Wiz's core functionalities – agentless vulnerability scanning and robust asset management – complement Google's focus on asset & vulnerability management across clouds. Bundling these features with Google's SIEM could drive broader adoption of their security suite. Now Wiz: Market Impact: This deal sets a precedent for cloud and application security startups. Wiz's established presence will influence future vendor positioning conversations, solidifying its competitive edge. Accelerated Growth: Wiz was poised to become a leader in cloud security. However, expanding functionalities like ASPM (Attack Surface Management) and CDR (Cloud Detection and Response) would have been challenging. This acquisition fast-tracks their growth and market dominance. Strategic Challenges Addressed: Without expanding their capabilities, Wiz risked falling behind competitors with more advanced code scanners and superior runtime protection for Kubernetes. This move circumvents those challenges. Short-Term and Long-Term Benefits: The acquisition offers immediate financial rewards for Wiz. In the long run,aligning with Google accelerates their feature development and growth trajectory without extensive independent efforts. Reshaping the Landscape Ultimately, this acquisition benefits both parties. Wiz gains financial security and strategic advantages, while Google strengthens its cloud security portfolio. However, Google's success hinges on effectively competing with Microsoft's established stronghold in integrated security solutions. This move undoubtedly reshapes the cloud security landscape, creating a ripple effect across the broader security startup ecosystem.

Our recent webinar was full of interesting perspectives into the ever-changing world of cybersecurity! The discussion focused on the critical challenges facing information security leaders and how Gen AI is emerging as both a friend and foe. Ronan Murphy shared his perspective on the Gen AI TRiSM (Trust, Risk, and Security Management) and how it will pull many of the incumbents along to offer protections at the heart of their tooling to protect data.

GenAI is revolutionizing how organizations enhance operational efficiencies across the enterprise. However, it is crucial to ensure that GenAI is supplied with accurate data and that the appropriate users have access to its outputs. This is where Data Security and Privacy Management (DSPM) comes into play, effectively addressing the potential data issues.

Mission Possible accomplished! Thank you REAL security for inviting Forcepoint to RISK Conference 2024 . Like every year it was great to meet with so many partners and customers. This conference is THE perfect opportunity to present our new concepts, solutions and products, to discuss hot topics of cybersecurity and #AI But also just to have fun together. Ronan Murphy - special thank you for accepting the #RISK 2024 and your continuous support. David Ivacic and the Team - see you at Risk Conference 2025 #weareforcepoint Sandra Hilt Alexander Raczynski Athanassios Vavatsikos Renato Uhl Miroslav Bajgar Michal Jarski

We at Getvisibility are committed to constantly enhancing our processes and approaches. One of the key areas we often talk about is the significance of sharing our approaches and knowledge with the community. Andrea Passaglia has taken the lead in this initiative by sharing our initial technical piece about how to build Fast, Reliable, and Consistent Data Management via Advanced File Discovery and Reconciliation Techniques Well done, Andrea Passaglia! https://lnkd.in/eqYvK86E

Really interesting episode of the Allinpod. I’m in total agreement that regulation of AI is a bad idea. (I’m in favour of regulation at the AI application layer, FRT etc). But more importantly the narrow AI segment is super interesting. In Getvisibility we have been building a very powerful narrow AI mesh (smaller targeted models) to solve complex data challenges. This is transforming the DSPM space. 1. Enhanced Speed Narrow AI models, each optimized for specific tasks, operate more efficiently than a single, general-purpose model. This specialization enables faster data processing and decision-making, significantly reducing latency and accelerating outcomes. 2. Superior Accuracy 3. Scalability and Flexibility 4. Resource Efficiency 5. Collaborative Intelligence 👇👇👇

This current spate of cyber attacks targeting major companies such as, LendingTree, Santander, and Ticketmaster have highlighted the critical vulnerabilities in current data security practices. These incidents involving breaches at cloud service provider Snowflake, underscore the necessity for robust Data Security Posture Management. In these breaches, attackers exploited stolen credentials to gain access to sensitive data. Despite Snowflake's assertions that no vulnerabilities in their system were to blame, and that customer accounts were compromised due to inadequate security practices. These incidents reveal the broader issue of how data is secured in general. The sophistication of these attacks, including the use of malware to steal credentials and bypass security measures, demonstrates that traditional identity and access management (IAM) solutions are no longer sufficient. I believe we are now entering the Identity Wars. While giants like Okta and Ping Identity have long focused on securing the castle walls, a new battleground has emerged: data security. The relentless pursuit of data by attackers, combined with the rise of Generative AI (Gen AI), is putting pressure on for more contextual alignment of data and identity. Watch this space...
