Cyber at the Top: Beyond Confidentiality: The New Priorities in Information Security

About this episode

This episode explores the evolving priorities in information security, emphasizing the importance of integrity and availability alongside confidentiality.

For years, information security was largely centered on protecting confidentiality. But as our world becomes more digital and increasingly dependent on always-available, trustworthy systems, integrity and availability are taking on equal importance. In this episode of Cyber at the Top, Dr. Hugh Thompson is joined by Bjørn Watne, Global CISO of INTERPOL, to explore how this shift is changing the way security leaders think about risk. Together, they discuss why disruption is becoming a defining threat, how emerging technologies are reshaping security priorities, and what it means to balance all three pillars of information security. The conversation offers a thoughtful look at how CISOs can reframe security as a driver of resilience, reliability, and organizational trust.
