Chris Street, Group Chief Revenue Officer of ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, discusses the findings of a new regional research study, Mind the Gap: Bridging the AI Infrastructure Readiness Divide, examining how organisations across Asia are progressing from AI ambition to execution. Commissioned by STT GDC with research partner Ecosystm, the study reveals that AI ambition across Asia is high, with nearly 90% of organisations having embarked on their AI journeys. However, a significant 71% remain in the "Builder" stage of maturity, where initial AI pilots struggle to scale into production environments capable of delivering consistent and measurable return on investment (ROI).

In this discussion, Marie Hargraves, Principal Crisis Advisor at Semperis, explores how organisations can move beyond firefighting to build true cyber resilience. She explores how fragmented communication, unclear ownership, and lack of real-time coordination cause response efforts to break down under pressure. She also unpacks why post-incident reviews so often fail to translate into meaningful resilience improvements, leaving the same mistakes to resurface in the next attack.
