NEW YORK — Dec 3 (GeokHub) The CTO of Blackstone says what really keeps him up at night isn’t markets — it’s data leaks. At a recent conference, he expressed deep concern over how quickly information moves today and warned that rising data-flow velocity is creating greater risk for breaches and data loss.
He said the firm is now intensely focused on evaluating and acquiring security platforms to safeguard client and company data. For Blackstone, this means investing heavily in cybersecurity tools and practices to stay ahead of emerging threats.
The remarks come at a time when many large firms are grappling with growing data volumes, regulatory scrutiny, and increased cyber-attack sophistication. For Blackstone, the commitment to fortifying infrastructure signals that data protection is rising on its priority list — a shift that may influence how other firms in finance and asset management respond too.
