Michael Dell talks security at first post-acquisition RSA Conference
CEOs are worried that complexity may be undermining their companies’ security posture according to Michael Dell, who today joined RSA CTO Zulfikar Razman on stage for the opening keynote of RSA Conference.
Razman said this year’s conference was « truly special », as it was the first since Dell acquired EMC , of which RSA was a part, becoming Dell Technologies.
Asked by Razman what the number one issue is for businesses today, Dell told the audience that it’s security.
« When I talk to CEOs and boards, this is an issue that’s of high concern for them. They’re concerned about complexity of their security posture and how they can manage the risks. They need to bridge this ‘gap of grief’ that you talked about.
« CEOs aren’t talking about cross-site scripting or malware injection, they’re talking about the business risks and for them it’s really a business issue and they want to know how it can be addressed and how they can secure their environment.
