In today's hyper-connected world, the explosion of IoT devices is reshaping the cybersecurity landscape—but are businesses keeping up? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Paul Savill, Global Practice Leader of Networking and Edge Compute at Kyndryl, to explore why traditional IT security strategies are no longer enough. With IoT-related cyberattacks rising at double-digit rates year over year and the global number of IoT devices projected to reach 25.4 billion by 2030, enterprises face mounting challenges in securing their networks. Paul shares insights into the biggest threats organizations are grappling with, including the growing risks of social engineering attacks, outdated infrastructure, and the widening gap between IT and OT security. With 44% of enterprise technology now considered “out of life” and unsupported by vendors, businesses are unknowingly leaving themselves vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. We also discuss Kyndryl's cybersecurity training program, which has driven a fourfold increase in employee-reported phishing incidents—a testament to the importance of ongoing education in strengthening enterprise security. Paul highlights the crucial role of Zero Trust and SASE architectures in modern network defense, using Kyndryl's own post-IBM spin-off transformation as a case study for successfully shifting to a cloud-first, AI-driven security approach. How can organizations modernize their infrastructure to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats? What steps should enterprises take to integrate IT and OT security more effectively? And how can AI-powered security tools help businesses navigate this rapidly changing landscape? Tune in to hear Paul's expert take on building a resilient, future-ready cybersecurity strategy.

In this episode, we speak with Onofrio Pirrotta, Senior Vice President and Managing Partner at Kyndryl, about the state of IT readiness in industrial sectors. We dive into key findings from Kyndryl's 2024 Readiness Report, the role of AI and IoT in digital transformation, and strategies for overcoming barriers to scaling innovation. Onofrio shares insights on bridging IT and OT, managing cybersecurity risks, and structuring governance models to drive ROI from new technologies. Key Insights: • The Readiness Paradox: 88% of manufacturers believe their IT environments are best-in-class, yet 55% say their tools are outdated, and only 31% feel prepared for future risks. • Bridging IT and OT: Successful digital transformation requires breaking down silos between IT and operational technology teams to enable enterprise-wide adoption. • Scaling Innovation: Many industrial firms struggle to move IoT and AI pilots beyond proof-of-concept due to unclear ROI and governance challenges. A structured framework with executive sponsorship is key. • Cybersecurity & Resilience: Large enterprises face increasing regulatory and supply chain security pressures. Simplifying cybersecurity tools and adopting a zero-trust framework are top priorities. • AI-Driven Operations: AI is increasingly auto-resolving IT infrastructure issues, reducing downtime and improving efficiency. However, companies must balance innovation with data security and compliance.

Although large enterprises allocate significant resources to cybersecurity, many haven't considered how they can tap into the unique perspectives of individuals in underserved communities. How can enterprises partner with community-based organizations to expand the pool of diverse and skilled cyber talent while creating a safer digital global community?

Ismail Amla, Global Practice Leader at Kyndryl, and Fiona Czerniawska, CEO of Source, caught up with Emma Carroll, Source's Head of Content, on the latest episode of our The Future of the Firm podcast.  Ismail and Fiona shared their insight on the following matters and more:   Demand for support with AI, new regulation, innovation, and sector-specific digital transformation are all driving growth in this consulting sector.    Clients are imagining new, cross-sector propositions. These will need new solutions from a technology point of view.   Clients are becoming more realistic about making good use of AI. They aren't becoming less interested, but they realise it isn't as easy as they thought at first.  There may be some interesting uses for AI around account management, particularly for clients that are working with multiple advisors.  There is a trend towards technology-first when it comes to consulting projects. We discuss what this will look like and how it is set to transform the professional services sector.   More mergers, acquisitions, or new partnerships may be on the cards between consulting firms, data companies, and platform providers. We look at what new entrants can add to partnerships and where firms are falling short with their ecosystems.  If you enjoyed this conversation, don't miss our sister podcast, Business Leader's Voice.
