Security News > 2020 > December > Cybersecurity: 4 key areas that IT leaders need to address
Ken Xie, founder, chairman of the board and CEO at Fortinet, does not pull any punches in his World Economic Forum commentary Four key challenges for cybersecurity leaders.
Xie stresses the need for cybersecurity to be part of the initial design.
Creating and promoting a common vision for integrated cybersecurity: Leaders from the public and private sectors need to cooperate when creating a common vision of integrated cybersecurity; the North Atlantic Treaty Organization exemplifies what Xie is talking about.
Promoting the technology platform we need to make this work: Xie believes cybersecurity has not been a must-have consideration when developing much of the world's current digital infrastructure, and that must change.
"Organizations like the World Economic Forum's Centre for Cybersecurity must continue to educate product designers around the world about the need to build cybersecurity into their products, and best practices in doing so," advises Xie.
