Contrary to their predictive decline in value, a 2024 Forrester report noted that among global infrastructure hardware decision-makers, 61% said that their firm uses a mainframe. Of those that use mainframes, 54% indicated that their organisation would increase its use of a mainframe over the next two years”.

With 71% of Fortune 500 companies still using mainframes, advancing technologies and evolving business drivers in 2024 highlight the challenges posed by neglecting mainframe modernisation that can lead to operational inefficiencies and risks, making it imperative for decision-makers to act decisively in embracing transformation.

1. How can CIOs align their mainframe modernisation efforts with the organisations’ broader digital transformation strategy, especially as they integrate AI technologies?

2. What specific benefits can be drawn from modernising mainframe systems regarding operational efficiency and cost reduction?

3. How should CIOs and HR leaders address the skills gap associated with legacy programming languages as they transition to more modern platforms?

4. What strategies can they implement to smooth migration from legacy mainframe environments to cloud-based solutions?

5. How can CIOs and CISOs leverage AI to enhance the performance and security of modernised mainframe systems?

6. What role do external partners play in facilitating mainframe modernisation, and name one approach to help select the right ones?

A chatbot is an Artificial Intelligence program that chats with you. The 1960s saw the first chatbot. It was called ELIZA and was developed by MIT professor Joseph Weizenbaum. Six decades later, we have ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot joining the likes of Alexa and Siri. While chatbots use pattern matching and natural language processing to interpret user inputs and choose the right responses from a set of pre-programmed options, AI agents engage in more complex, multi-step interactions that may span different platforms or services. AI agents take the next step from chatbots moving the needle of engagement between human and machines.

PodChats for FutureCISO: Modernising PAM strategies for a security-first world 12:17

рік тому12:17

Gartner defines privileged access management (PAM) as tools that provide an elevated level of technical access through the management and protection of accounts, credentials and commands used to administer or configure systems and applications. Available as software, SaaS or hardware appliances, PAM tools manage privileged access for both people (system administrators and others) and machines (systems or applications). Gartner defines four distinct tool categories for PAM tools: privileged account and session management (PASM), privilege elevation and delegation management (PEDM), secrets management, and cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM). It is widely expected that in 2025, PAM will be shaped by advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation, enabling more proactive and adaptive security measures. As regulatory compliance becomes more stringent across various industries in Asia, organizations will be compelled to adopt robust PAM solutions to safeguard sensitive data and ensure accountability. The convergence of hybrid work environments and cloud technologies will also necessitate re-evaluating PAM strategies, emphasizing the need for flexible yet secure access controls. In this PodChats for FutureCISO, Phil Calvin, Chief Product Officer, Delinea, shares his views on some of CISOs' approaches when modernising PAM strategies for a security-first world . 1. How have PAM tools and strategies evolved in the last two years following hybrid work, the shift to the cloud, and more recently the heightened interest in AI, ML and automation? 2. For those that have already started to embed AI, ML and automation into their PAM strategies, what has worked and not worked? 3. Any lessons learned when it comes to integration AI and ML into existing PAM implementations? 4. What metrics should CISOs use to measure the effectiveness of their PAM solutions and practices? 5. Given the heightened interest around data privacy and protection, but disparate guidelines and frameworks, what steps should CISOs/enterprises take to ensure compliance with regional regulations concerning privileged access? 6. How can CISOs ensure that their PAM solutions are scalable as the organization grows? 7. What role does zero-trust play in PAM strategies and how do you see zero trust evolving in 2025 to PAM implementations? 8.
