GET TO KNOW management style is a recipe for disaster, in my opinion. As a leader, I must enable people to execute and be the best versions of themselves, a quality I demonstrate in my management philosophy.
What do you currently identify as the major areas of investment in your industry?
I’ m sure readers will not be surprised by my answer that Artificial Intelligence is at the top of the list. This investment is coming in either securing its use within your organisation or investing in the appropriate security stack and tooling that allows you to leverage AI.
Another area of investment we see in the security sector, which isn’ t getting as much publicity as AI, is leveraging the right technology stack to give organisations a comprehensive view across the network. Regardless of the workload and where it exists, having the ability to have deep observability of all data in motion within your environment is something those in the security sector are investing in. Even though numerous tools can provide visibility of data being fed into various environments, they do not give organisations a comprehensive picture.
If you could go back and change one career decision, what would it be?
Being completely honest here, I wouldn’ t change anything. I believe that I am a sum of my decisions. Even though some of those decisions were better than others, they helped me gain valuable experience, which led me to where I am today at Gigamon.
In life and career, we learn things positively and negatively. You need both of these learning experiences to become the leader and individual you want to be. Even my least ideal choice played a part in leading me to where I am today, www. intelligentcxo. com
