With the start of the academic year, it’s not only students who return to the classroom.
For companies and teams, September is also a good time to resume projects, fine-tune objectives, and redefine priorities.
A few years ago, everyone was talking about the cloud as if it could solve everything. Then came blockchain, and later the metaverse. Today, the conversation revolves around Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. While these narratives can be enticing, what truly creates value is the consistency and discipline applied when integrating these technologies into business models and into the everyday work of teams.
In cybersecurity, many providers claim to be using AI in their solutions. This was evident last May, when most of the 650+ vendors exhibiting at the RSA Conference in San Francisco—the world’s leading cybersecurity event, held annually in the United States since 1991—highlighted AI in their offerings.
These are, without doubt, relevant advances. But they do not replace the need for a solid cybersecurity strategy, supported by a clear roadmap with well-defined short-, medium-, and long-term priorities.
In cybersecurity, what seems logical doesn’t always happen immediately. The work that truly matters rarely makes headlines. The best decisions come from designing plans that include robust processes, reviewed and continuously improved. They are seldom visible, but when they are, they play a crucial role in minimizing the impact of incidents and the potential crises that may follow.
At the beginning of this year, we set ourselves the goal of improving Ackcent’s service offering. Thanks to the discipline and dedication of the entire team, we have built momentum in this direction and evolved our portfolio with a proposal designed to simplify the management of cybersecurity challenges.
We start this new season with great enthusiasm and a firm commitment to continue improving in an orderly and consistent way, while revisiting the goals we set for ourselves as a team earlier this year.
Happy back-to-school season to everyone!
