But according to Wood the key to success when detecting and combatting cyber threat is not just about using the best IT for the job . That ’ s only part of a bigger picture .
Wood says mitigating risk is often down to understanding and anticipating simple human nature . ‘ No solution or tool is 100 % effective to the daily threat evolution , so the first line of defence needs to be employee awareness and diligent communication .
“ Artificial intelligence catches a good 97 % of most phishing threats but that risky three percent can shut down an enterprise and cost millions of dollars , for that reason , awareness is one of the company ' s greatest assets .” The lean , mean machine Wood attributes much of Tricon Energy ’ s early success to what he calls its leaness .
‘ Effective IT tool sets can help a company become lean and efficient companies can use those tool sets more effectively . Leaness and using the right technology go hand in hand .’
Wood says matching tool-sets to employees is a balancing act many businesses fail to understand . It ’ s a movable feast which should be continually under review .
‘ I think this has an absolute effect on the technologies you use ,’ he says .
