Team8 is a venture capital and private equity firm that invests in companies specializing in enterprise technologies, cyber, AI, fintech and digital health. To be successful, VC needs to thoroughly understand current technology and associated problem areas to select the right solution-delivering firms in which to invest.
To help its own understanding, Team8 has developed a ‘CISO Village’ – an invitation-only global community of security leaders from the world’s major enterprises. Each year, Team8 produces an annual survey report based on the latest opinions from this CISO Village. This year it tackled the era of AI, and the result confirms it is now AI software that is eating the world.
