Jason Oehley, Regional Sales Manager for Arctic Wolf

In fact, says Jason Oehley, Regional Sales Manager for Arctic Wolf, South Africa, the people inhabiting these roles face significant security challenges.

“The question that CISOs seem to be asking most often these days is: how do I become more strategic in my security approach, in order to deliver a more proactive, forward-thinking approach to security? Other difficulties they face are around the scarcity of security skills, where to find these and how to optimise the skills they do have. This is due to the sheer amount of security tools that exist, compared to the skills required to effectively look after these,” he says.
