Insights Interview: Haider Pasha, CSO EMEA and LATAM, Palo Alto Networks

About this episode

The episode features an interview with Haider Pasha discussing the evolving threat landscape in cybersecurity influenced by geopolitics and technology.

Over the last few years, we’ve seen the resurgence of geopolitics as a driver for cybersecurity, especially in Europe. But the return of war to the continent is just one factor changing CISOs’ views of risk. In this Insights Interview, we discuss developments in the threat landscape with Haider Pasha, CSO for EMEA at Palo Alto Networks, following the company’s recent Ignite event in London. As he describes it, Europe faces its own pressures, as malicious actors exploit differences between countries, their policies and even cultures. But security leaders in Europe, and elsewhere, also face challenges from AI, quantum computing, and a fragmented and increasingly complex regulatory landscape. So how do security teams close those gaps? Interview by Stephen Pritchard.
