On the main stage of Cybertech Global 2023, Gene Golovinsky, VP Security R&D at Intuit, discussed the pros and cons of data links.
“Company created data links, everything is great – fast, scalable, all in the same place. We call it a democratization of access to data – a lot of people and non-human entities such as services and machines have access to all sorts of resources.
“However, as the industry rushes to solve new cases and problems, we leave security behind. as an afterthought,” said Golovinsky “The state of affairs isn’t great now, but we have the opportunity to talk and figure things out together."
Kazu Yozawa, CEO of Japan’s NTT Security Holdings, provided an overview of Japan’s new national security strategy and how tech and cyber fit into this. Due to the possibility of a serious situation arising in the Indo-Pacific region (especially East Asia), mostly fearing Russian or Chinese aggression, Japan has decided to up its counterattack capabilities, and raise defense spending to 2% of GDP over the next five years.
“We need to upgrade our capabilities through technology, intelligence, and human resources,” said Yozawa, discussed NTT’s contribution and additional cooperation with Israel.

Andrea Rigoni, Partner in Risk Advisory Cyber and Strategic Risk from Deloitte Italy, spoke about how important it is for governments to take the lead and start providing direction, in the age when the cyber battlefield is becoming incredibly complex.
“Governments will play a crucial role because there are complex decisions that need to be taken, and market dynamics are not enough. The private sector hasn’t been able to come up with a solution the government was looking for – because when you’re in your own sector, you look at your own needs and don’t have the big picture.
“It’s also like an orchestra – you put the top 100 musicians in a room together, but you need to direct them how to play the music.”
