Cyber security leadership has become a business requirement, not simply an IT responsibility. Organizations are managing cloud environments, third-party ecosystems, remote workforces, AI adoption, evolving cyber threats, and an expanding range of regulatory requirements.

Organisations are managing more regulations, larger technology environments, growing third-party ecosystems, increasing cyber risks, and now an entirely new layer of AI governance requirements.   Yet many GRC teams still spend a surprising amount of time doing work that should already be automated. They chase evidence through email, maintain risk registers in...
