# Modern Security: Trends and Innovation

In this premiere episode join Cloudflare Co-founder, President and COO, Michelle Zatlyn and Accenture Managing Director, Scott Wilkie as they discuss emerging security trends and innovation in the industry.

Organizations are operating in a world of increased complexity with continuously expanding risk surfaces. The adoption of various cloud solutions and tools has created an unwieldy IT and security environment to manage. This can be exacerbated by emerging technologies such as AI, which adds even more layers of intricacy to IT infrastructures.

In addition, security is no longer confined to its own department. It has evolved from a technical issue managed by specialized teams, to a shared concern for executives and board members. This elevation of security to the boardroom reflects a growing awareness among leaders about the critical need to protect company assets.

Forward-thinking organizations are integrating security into every aspect of the business. Unlike in the past, where security was often seen as a barrier to business agility, it is now recognized as a driver of innovation and transformation.
