underpins our everyday life , but for Eric and his cybersecurity colleagues , it ’ s about understanding how cyber can help drive market differentiation within products and in comparison to the competition .
“ With a business-first focus , my team and I must think about how the solutions we create drive value internally and externally . For example , internally , we are very focused on the developer experience and how the cyber team can enable faster , more secure software development - with the end goal of bringing safe , secure and resilient products to the market even faster .”
Leveraging tech for the future , intentionally If one thing is clear for Eric , it ’ s that technology is a great enabler to solve specific business challenges . As technology advances at an increasingly rapid speed , this does not mean it should be implemented for the sake of it .
“ Technology implementation should be a business decision and very intentional ,” he says , “ not purely an engineering decision . It must be done with a unified purpose . Without that unification , technology implementations often do not yield the return on investment that organisations hope they initially would .”
With that said , the arguments for not implementing AI are becoming all the more indefensible . The technology has proven its usefulness , and at Finastra , conversations are taking place over how best to adopt and implement it .
“ We ’ re really starting to think about how AI can enable our functions , particularly in cybersecurity ,” says Eric .
