Massimiliano Marsico shared thisLooking forward to presenting at this great event!Massimiliano Marsico shared thisSecurity is the foundation of every successful transformation! As organisations navigate their transformation journeys, the shift to RISE with SAP brings both opportunities and new security considerations. Can the cloud match the security levels of your current setup? Are your tools ready for emerging trends and threats? I'm excited to be speaking at an exclusive event for our clients on March 5th at IBM London, hosted in partnership with IBM, SAP and Amazon Web Services (AWS), with Luke Parker, Massimiliano Marsico and Bruno Mariath Zeidan, as well as colleagues from SAP and AWS. We'll tackle the critical security considerations for SAP transformations and answer the questions that matter most to our clients. 🔹 What changes, from a security perspective, when you migrate to RISE with SAP? 🔹 How do you ensure a secure transition from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA? 🔹 What are the evolving security responsibilities in the cloud? This event is a great opportunity to connect with industry experts and peers to discuss best practices and real-world insights. Register your interest here: https://lnkd.in/esm-TmEk Looking forward to insightful conversations!

Massimiliano Marsico shared thisA few weeks ago, the Cybersecurity Service team gathered for an away day at Hursley House, a charming state house which IBM has been lucky to use as a research centre since the 50s. The tour of the fascinating IBM Hursley was definitely amongst the highlights of the day: as a self-confessed IT nerd, it was a great opportunity to appreciate in person how computing evolved from its infancy in the late 1800s, consisting of clocks, scales, tabulating machines, and other mechanical computational devices, to send the first person to the moon only a few decades later, to our days, where Quantum Computing and Artificial Intelligence are opening new scenarios to humanity. It was a powerful reminder of the transformational impact that the curiosity, intelligence, and dedication of thousands of computer scientists all over the world have had on our lives, and a warning that the future is coming faster than ever and will be very different from our present days. But most importantly, after many decades I bumped into a working version of the videogame “Alley Cat”, triggering my sense of retro-nerd nostalgia off scale. The museum can be contacted to organise visits for individual and small groups, if you are in the area, it is definitely worth your time. #IBM #SAP #Cybersecurity #Hursley #Alleycat #RetroPC #RetroNerd #tech #history #vintage

Massimiliano Marsico posted thisThroughout my journey in the SAP world, I've had the privilege of learning from so many inspiring South Asian colleagues and clients, especially since moving to London 20 years ago. The encounter with the South Asian community here in London has been a source of constant inspiration: their dedication, resilience and leadership has left a lasting impact on me, personally and professionally, with way too many people to thank. This #Diwali I want to express my gratitude for the knowledge, culture, friendship (and most importantly, food 😜) you shared with me all these years. May this festive season bring light, prosperity, and happiness to you and your loved ones. #Diwali #Diwali2024 #SouthAsian #SAP #Cybersecurity #London #IBM #Gratitude

Massimiliano Marsico shared thisWhat a start I had at IBM! I was lucky to attend the #ThinkLondon event last week, a truly remarkable event that showcased the extent and the depth of IBM's experience, research and passion in the most advanced technology that will shape the world, from #AI to #IBMQUANTUM computing to #Cybersecurity. Just to mention a few sessions: Rory Stewart discussed with Nicola Hodson, Tom Whipple and Charles Smith on the transformational impact that AI is already having from a government and democracy perspective. Rahul Kalia and Kareem Yusuf Ph.D discussed with Andy Hardy, CEO of the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, how AI and hybrid cloud are being used to tackle missed appointments and last-minute cancellations, releasing thousands of appointments and making a tangible impact on people's health. Our Cybersecurity lead, Georgi Cohen, gave an insightful presentation on the Cost of a Data Breach based on the latest 2024 report, impressive numbers ($4.88M the average cost of a data breach... mind-blowing!), you can download the full report here: https://lnkd.in/dMMHQDrg Plenty of interesting topics were discussed, you can watch recording from the keynote speeches here: https://lnkd.in/d-NSQwUz Georgi Cohen Amit K A.

Massimiliano Marsico liked thisMassimiliano Marsico liked thisDay 1 in Amsterdam for #SAP conference on internal control, compliance & Risk from TAC Insights and Its always good to come here ( coming as a speaker since 2018 ) and first time here representing Haleon, meeting lot of friends and absorbing everything in the world of Cyber risk, internal controls, GRC, Identity, Fraud and yes, AI. Highlights for me and this is a synopsis, with no AI inputs, as Gemini hallucinated and didnt make life easy , even though the initial draft looked promising ( something I am sure we all are working on every day) : - Richard Hunt and Chris Johnston gave a compelling overview of RISE shared responsibility model and broke down the various layers from a security & risk ownership. As I did the whole exercise with bp few years back, it is still very clear and thanks to both these experts : Security can never be someone else's problem and its a "shared reality model" , as every self driving car 🚗 would also not put seat belt for you...you need to do it ON YOUR OWN. - Presentations from Burberry, Merck, Maersk, Perfetti and many other industry giants on day 1 made one thing clear. Internal control, Identity and Access, Control Automation, Managing enterprise risk, optimising SAP GRC deployments from IT and business standpoint is still a huge priority for every CIO, CFO and CISO function and good to see continued innovation, Resiliency and adoption from so many verticals. - Tiede-Jan de Jong and Sarma ADITHE gave a great overview on case studies around emergency access management and Saviynt's capabilities around managing non-human and human identities in the agentic ERP era. I really liked the feature around "video recording" of the FF session , from a log review perspective for the FF reviewer. Simple thing but helps the end user! This is something which the other PAM players have been doing in the OS/DB layer, so good to see it being rolled out as a feature for SAP PAM. - Professor Bruce Garvey gave a masterclass on Uncertainty and my takeaway had to be the quadrant explaining the Known/Known and Known/unknowns and how Uncertainty is different from risk. I will be doing a debrief to my internal team with a lot more detail, so if anyone is keen, happy to share more content. Onwards to day 2 !!

Massimiliano Marsico liked thisMassimiliano Marsico liked thisI’m excited to share that I’ve joined Saviynt as a Strategic Account Executive focused on their incredible Application Access Governance (AAG) product! This role brings together many of the things I care most about in security, particularly the convergence of identity and access governance for not just SAP, but all applications. With a new chapter, that means the end of a previous one, I’m deeply grateful for my time at IBM. Over the past 5 years, I had the opportunity to work with exceptional people across Cybersecurity Services, the SAP practice and so many other facets of IBM. I’m especially thankful to the leaders, teammates, and clients who pushed me and supported me along the way. You know who you are, there are too many of you to mention here. On to the next chapter!

Massimiliano Marsico liked thisMassimiliano Marsico liked thisReflecting on my 27 Years at IBM: Security's Evolution and Future As I complete the first month of my 27th year at IBM, I find myself reflecting on what has been an extraordinary journey with what I truly believe is the world's finest organisation. The past year has been remarkable, and the security landscape ahead promises even more transformation. Looking back at 2025, I'm filled with pride in my team's achievements. We've delivered tangible value to our clients across the entire cybersecurity spectrum - from strategy and risk management (with particular focus on supply chains, third-party risk, compliance and talent transformation) to comprehensive cyber defence (addressing quantum, OT, data and application security, identity management, and infrastructure protection). Our threat management work has spanned exposure management, simulation exercises, 24/7 SOC services, incident response, and remediation. Throughout, we've collaborated with strategic partners to bring best-in-class solutions to our clients. As we look forward into 2026, I believe we're approaching an inflection point in security. If recent events have taught us anything, it's the critical importance of preparation and swift remediation capabilities when incidents inevitably occur. End to end security is still of paramount importance but I’m seeing our clients primarily focused on three key areas: 1. Artificial Intelligence 2. Quantum 3. Resilience What other security challenges are you and your organisation prioritising this year? I'd welcome your thoughts and the opportunity to discuss. #Cybersecurity #IBM #TechLeadership #AISecuirty #QuantumSecurity #CyberResilience

Massimiliano Marsico liked thisMassimiliano Marsico liked thisÈ arrivato il momento di iniziare a nazionalizzare la sanità privata convenzionata. L’Italia è uno dei Paesi con la spesa sanitaria privata più elevata al mondo. Questo perché il nostro Paese è un vero e proprio paradiso per le strutture private e convenzionate. In Italia, infatti, i privati beneficiano di diversi irragionevoli vantaggi a danno del contribuente. Anzitutto, si appoggiano alle infrastrutture pubbliche per effettuare in sicurezza interventi chirurgici, ambulatoriali, o di assistenza al parto senza sostenerne i costi. Inoltre, possono scegliere le prestazioni da erogare e, dunque, di concentrarsi solo sugli interventi che presentano un margine di profitto più elevato. Come se non bastasse, ogni anno si vedono rinnovato automaticamente dalle Regioni l’impegno di spesa, senza gara ed in continuità con l’anno precedente. Questo significa che il nostro Paese, di fatto, ha eliminato il rischio di impresa per per le strutture convenzionate. Questa situazione non è più tollerabile: è urgente invertire la tendenza alla privatizzazione della sanità italiana prima che incida ancora di più sulla vita dei cittadini. Le soluzioni ci sono: è necessaria una decisa e progressiva riduzione del rilascio di nuove convenzioni ai privati e la nazionalizzazione delle strutture private convenzionate di interesse strategico che non sopravvivrebbero senza il supporto delle convenzioni. Ne ho parlato su Salute.Eu.

The FCA just turned sustainability data into a financial reporting obligation. CP26/5 proposes UK SRS-aligned climate disclosures for listed companies from January 2027. Most of the commentary focuses on timelines and transitional reliefs. That misses the point. The real question isn't what to report. It's whether your data infrastructure can survive the scrutiny. If your sustainability data lives in spreadsheets, disconnected from your governance and risk systems, you have an architecture problem — not a reporting problem. Simon Whitburn and I wrote about what CP26/5 actually demands when you look past the headlines — and five questions every organisation in scope should be asking right now.

Risk-Based Auditing in the UK After more than a decade in audit, one thing is clear: a “tick-box” approach no longer works. Stakeholders in the UK expect auditors to understand what really drives risk and to focus effort there. That’s exactly what the risk-based audit model helps us do. What I’ve found makes the biggest difference: • Know the business first, test later. Spend time with management and walk through processes before designing procedures. • Prioritise material risks. Not every balance needs the same attention – concentrate on the areas where a misstatement would truly matter. • Integrate controls and analytics. Use data and controls testing to zero-in on exceptions instead of blanket sampling. • Communicate early and often. Share emerging risks with the board and audit committee before they crystallise. The result is higher quality audits, more efficient teams and boards who see auditors as partners in risk management, not just compliance. This is the shift UK audit is making, and it is rewarding to be part of it. #RiskBasedAudit #UKAudit #Governance #AuditQuality #Insights

All good GRC frameworks are more than the sum of their parts. NIST 2.0 and ISO27001 provide the framework and a certain amount of detail, but #DORA and #NIS2 provide the specific details at times. Like this tree in the picture, the details make the framework complete. The PwC Ireland Cyber approach is to help you understand how to make your cybersecurity governance framework work best for you. Now is a good time to evaluate your organisation’s conformity with DORA and NIS 2.
