Envisioning a tech future based on managing digital risk and building trust

When Rohit Ghai (pictured) was named RSA Security LLC’s new president in 2017, he spoke about the importance of connecting insight with context to manage business risk. Two years later, the cybersecurity community is warily assessing risks associated with the explosive growth of new internet of things connected devices where protection has not always been top-of-mind.
“One trillion lines of code will be shipped over the next decade by companies that have shipped exactly zero lines of code,” said Ghai, president of RSA (part of the Dell Technologies Inc. family of brands). “We face unprecedented digital risk because of that. The role of RSA is to help companies manage that digital risk.”
Ghai spoke with Jeff Frick (@JeffFrick), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during the RSA Conference in San Francisco. They discussed strategies for managing digital risk and the importance of building a technology trust platform. (* Disclosure below.)
Focus on the right problems
To manage the thorny problem of digital risk, Ghai recommends a strategy that involves business-driven security; reducing the amount of work through use of automated tools, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning; and moving at the pace of technology itself.
“You have to apply business context to your security posture so you focus on the right problems, the right cyber incidents, right here and right now,” Ghai said. “The only unique advantage that we, the good guys, have is our own understanding of the business context. We call that business-driven security.”
One of the challenges facing the security industry today is trust. Ghai spoke in his conference-opening keynote remarks on Tuesday about the “trust crisis,” where users lose faith in technology as a force for good.
“Trust is based on reputation; trust is not perfection,” Ghai said. “We are inviting complete strangers into our cars and homes with platforms like Airbnb and Uber and Lyft because there is a technology trust platform. We need that on the enterprise side.”
