FORMULA 1’s (F1) popularity has boomed in recent years, mostly due to a famous documentary that has managed to reignite the world’s interest in this spectacular sport, now raking in an audience of more than 20 million for each race this season. Such is the pull of F1. The Singapore Grand Prix, always an unpredictable and spectacular race, is just around the corner, and I can’t wait to see what this year’s edition has in store for us.
Reflecting on the unrelenting quest for performance that F1 requires, I often find myself making analogies between the sport and my own industry, and my latest musing led me to reflect on the fine balance between innovation and regulation that both F1 and information security need to strike.
How do we define security regulations in a way that doesn’t damage organisations’ capacity to innovate? Let’s look at the lessons we can draw from F1 and this year’s new regulations that can help organisations navigate modern information-security challenges.
