EDITOR ’ S NOTE

Welcome to the latest edition of Intelligent

CIO magazine for the North America region .
This month ’ s cover features George Ho , Vice President of Informational Technology at RioCan . He tells us how RioCan , one of Canada ’ s largest real estate investment trusts , has selected Darktrace to defend ‘ The Well ’, Canada ’ s most ambitious multi-use real estate project .
“ The experience we ’ ve created for our visitors and tenants relies on a significant technology infrastructure , from lights switches and thermostats to security systems , which is reliable and will work uninterrupted ,” said Ho .
“ The best thing about Darktrace ’ s AI is that it learns every detail of both our information and operational technology so that we can minimize any disruptions to our normal business operations in the event of a cybersecurity incident . That is the future of security .” You can find out more details about the project by turning to p48 .
Elsewhere , we take a look at how Hackensack Meridian Health is transforming patient care with Citrix . Its system is leveraging the digital workspace platform to provide simple , secure access to applications and information employees need to quickly and reliably deliver services from anywhere . a platform that enables them to deliver superior patient care from any location .
“ We know that not all healthcare applications work well in the cloud , which is why we ’ re not out of the data center business entirely but there is value in moving many apps – by use case – to the cloud . Doing so gives us better security and more flexibility in how we deliver apps to clinicians .”
There ’ s much more to discover about this story on p61 . In this month ’ s Final Word , Manny Rivelo , Chief Executive Officer , Forcepoint , explains why security leaders will continue to look to Secure Access Service Edge , or SASE , the convergence of cloud-delivered networking and security .
“ Shifting to data-first SASE embraces a strategy of 100 % prevention to secure data wherever it ’ s used ,” he said . “ It ’ s the fastest way to simplify security and make the single-vendor Zero Trust solution a reality .” For more on this turn to p82 .
