Episode Summary:

In this final episode of Cloud Reset for 2024, Jono and Naran are joined by Enrico Conte, CISO of IMB Bank, to unpack the challenges of managing cybersecurity in an ever-evolving threat landscape. Fresh off the plane from Microsoft Ignite, Naran shares key insights on Microsoft’s roadmap, the explosion of generative AI, and the critical role of data governance as organisations prepare for the future.

Key topics include:

• How banks approach cybersecurity to balance innovation, risk, and data protection.

• The rise of data governance as a critical foundation for AI adoption and business resilience.

• Microsoft’s push towards AI and Copilot solutions, and what it means for customers and partners.

• Real-world examples of managing risk in a dynamic threat landscape.

• The importance of agility and adaptability in long-term security strategies.

• Why trust, skills, and AI readiness are the key pillars for successful technology investments.

As Jono and Naran reflect on the year, they highlight recurring themes from their guests, including cost optimisation, managing risk, and the growing role of AI in IT and security strategies. With plenty of exciting plans for 2025, including insights from CEOs and more deep dives into AI, Cloud Reset will return in February to tackle the biggest challenges and opportunities in cloud and IT.
