Syngenta: Crops, Seeds and Cybersecurity

Three of Syngenta's key leaders talk about the road to cyber maturity in the cloud.

As you go on investing in infrastructure you may fall behind in terms of keeping the network up or having the latest and greatest in cybersecurity. If you don't invest in cloud space you are not able to keep up with where technology is headed, keep your costs down and your applications modernised. This summary from Vanja Vlaski shows how seriously Syngenta now takes these issues.

Like many large enterprises, it was not long ago that security was the realm of a few specialists scattered across the business, who could be called on to assess threats as they arose but were very far from being connected within a centrally-based and professional security organisation. All this has changed in two major transformations: the migration of on-premise applications to the cloud and the establishment of a fully funded and competent cybersecurity operation under a CISO.

As Paul Carugati says, in the ever-changing technological landscape our threats are very dynamic. It's an almost continuous game of cat and mouse to stay on top of those technical issues from a threat management perspective, but ideally, with our strategic outlook and the protection and defensive measures that we put in place, we can manage those responsibly.
