In the past two years, more than three-quarters of organizations have been attacked by ransomware, and over two-thirds have experienced at least one software supply chain attack. Attackers are smarter, more sophisticated and move more quickly than ever. If your organization hasn’t been breached yet, odds are you will be. On The Segment, you will hear from industry experts about the latest cybersecurity and ransomware trends. We will unpack how modern organizations can reduce risk and curtail impact with Zero Trust - a “never trust, always verify†approach to cybersecurity. Join us for The Segment: A Zero Trust Leadership Podcast, brought to you by Illumio.
In this episode, Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Andrew Rubin, Founder & CEO of Illumio, for a candid conversation about the next phase of AI-driven cybersecurity risk. Just weeks after a major AI breakthrough sparked shockwaves across the security industry, Andrew shares his immediate reaction — from the sobering implications of machine-speed vulnerability discovery to a frank assessment of why the cybersecurity industry's fundamental model may already be broken. The conversation explores what actually changes in an era where vulnerabilities could be discovered and exploited faster than any human-driven operation could manage. Andrew argues that while segmentation as a concept is decades old, its role as a critical backstop has never been more urgent. If attackers begin operating at machine speed, defenders must rethink not just their tools, but their entire operating model — from how they assess risk to how quickly they can respond. Raghu and Andrew discuss: Why the cybersecurity industry has spent more every year while outcomes have gotten worse How AI creates an asymmetric threat unlike anything defenders have faced before Why patching alone won't solve the problem — and the COVID vaccine analogy that explains why The shift from prevention to resilience as the new security north star What the SolarWinds story reveals about how organizations miscalculate tail risk Why segmentation becomes one of the few reliable backstops in a model-driven world How the era of 12-month RFPs and POCs may be coming to a swift and necessary end Stay Connected with our host, Raghu on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raghunandakumara/ For more information about Illumio, check out our website at illumio.com Resources Mentioned: Hard Truths in Cybersecurity: Fear, Liability, and the Industry's Biggest Lies | RSAC 2026 Panel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88XjfZBYIw0

In this episode, Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Neil Robinson for a candid look at how one of the industry's top security leaders is thinking about the next phase of AI-driven cybersecurity risk. Just weeks after a major AI breakthrough sparked shockwaves across the security industry, Neil shares his immediate reaction — from genuine excitement about the technology's progress to the sobering implications for defenders, attackers, and the pace of cyber risk. The conversation explores what actually changes in an era where vulnerabilities could be discovered and exploited faster than ever before. Neil argues that while the technology may be new, the core mission remains the same: disciplined execution, strong fundamentals, and protecting customers. But if attackers begin operating at machine speed, defenders must rethink how quickly they can respond. Raghu and Neil discuss: Why this moment feels different from previous technology shifts How AI may increase the likelihood and speed of exploitation Why security fundamentals matter more, not less, in the AI era The tension between faster development cycles and safe delivery What CISOs are prioritizing right now around risk, resilience, and readiness Why “reacting at machine speed” may become the new benchmark for defenders Throughout the episode, Neil brings a calm, practical perspective: yes, the road ahead may be uneven — but organizations that stay focused, modernize operations, and embrace the right tools can emerge stronger and more secure.

Recorded live at RSA Conference 2026, this episode of The Segment features a compelling conversation between host Raghu Nandakumara and Theresa Payton—the first female White House Chief Information Officer and a leading voice on cybersecurity, AI, and digital risk. They tackle a critical question: If organizations are spending more than ever on cybersecurity, why are outcomes getting worse? Drawing from her experience protecting some of the most sensitive systems in the world, Theresa challenges conventional thinking around security frameworks, compliance, and the industry's overreliance on checklists. The conversation dives into: Why the current cybersecurity model is fundamentally broken—and what needs to change The growing gap between security spending and real-world outcomes How AI is reshaping the threat landscape as both a powerful tool and a potential insider risk Why designing for the human user—not just the buyer—is key to better security The overlooked importance of data classification in a post-quantum future Practical ways teams can begin “reimagining” security, even with limited time and resources Theresa also shares behind-the-scenes insights from her time at the White House, including a surprising story that highlights just how personal—and nuanced—cybersecurity can be. At its core, this episode is a call to action: to move beyond compliance, rethink outdated approaches, and build a more human-centered, resilient future for cybersecurity.

Social engineering attacks may evolve with new technology, but the core tactic hasn't changed in decades: exploiting human trust. In this episode of The Segment, host Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Timothy Kromphardt, Senior Threat Researcher at Proofpoint to explore how modern scams actually work behind the scenes. Tim spends his days engaging directly with threat actors—sometimes for months at a time—to understand how fraud campaigns operate, how scammers build trust, and how they ultimately convince victims to hand over money or sensitive information. Together, they unpack the mechanics of today's most common scams, including TOAD (telephone-oriented attack delivery) attacks, business email compromise, and the increasingly sophisticated “pig butchering” investment scams that can drain victims' life savings after months of relationship-building. Together, Raghu and Tim unpack: Why social engineering continues to succeed—even as security technology improves How pig butchering scams build trust over months before stealing massive sums What happens when researchers directly engage with scammers Why AI is helping attackers scale operations—but not necessarily replace humans Practical steps organizations and individuals can take to reduce their risk If you've ever wondered how scammers actually operate—or why even highly successful professionals sometimes fall victim—this episode offers a rare inside look at the human side of cybercrime.

AI is moving faster than any technology shift we've seen before—but security is still being treated as an afterthought. In this episode of The Segment, host Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Joshua Woodruff, Founder & CEO of Massive Scale AI, to explore what it really takes to adopt AI, especially agentic AI, without putting your business at risk. Josh brings nearly 30 years of experience across security, cloud, and IT transformation, advising organizations from startups to Fortune 100 enterprises. As a zero trust thought leader, co-lead of the Cloud Security Alliance Zero Trust Working Group, and author of Agentic AI + Zero Trust, Josh shares why AI isn't just another tools-led transformation—it's a fundamental re-engineering of how work gets done. Together, Raghu and Josh unpack: Why AI should be viewed as “commoditized intelligence,” not a human replacement The unique security challenges of stochastic, non-deterministic AI systems How Zero Trust provides a business-aligned foundation for securing AI and data What it means to treat AI agents like digital employees—with identities, guardrails, and codes of conduct Real-world examples of AI agents going off the rails—and how to prevent it Josh's five-question “Agentic Trust Framework” for securing autonomous AI systems Why security teams have a rare opportunity to become true enablers of AI-driven transformation If you're a business leader, technologist, or security professional grappling with how to move fast on AI without breaking trust, this episode offers a clear, practical, and grounded roadmap for doing AI right—securely, responsibly, and at scale.

What separates organizations that pass audits from those that survive real incidents? In this episode of The Segment, host Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Phil Park, global cybersecurity and risk leader at IBM. With more than 25 years advising financial institutions across the U.S., Europe, and Asia-Pacific, Phil brings a practical perspective on how supervision is rapidly evolving from compliance checklists to real-world operational readiness. Together, Raghu and Phil unpack the industry's biggest mindset shift: regulators no longer ask “Are you protected?” — they ask “Can you operate through disruption?” They explore why prevention alone is no longer enough, why containment and recovery now define security maturity, and how CISOs are moving from siloed operators to enterprise-wide risk leaders accountable to boards and regulators alike. The conversation also dives into: Why regulators evaluate response quality rather than technical perfection How organizations are turning tabletop exercises into realistic resilience testing The growing pressure created by third-party and supply-chain dependencies Why evidence and outcomes matter more than policies and frameworks How overlapping reporting requirements are reshaping incident response playbooks The double-edged role of AI in both defense and attack, including deepfake risks Why security fundamentals matter even more in the AI era This episode is a must-listen for security leaders and executives navigating a world where passing the audit is no longer the goal — proving you can withstand disruption is.

In this episode of The Segment, Raghu sits down with Ross Haleliuk—Co-Founder & CEO of a stealth startup, author of Cyber for Builders, and host of Inside the Network and Venture in Security to unpack why most security failures aren't caused by a lack of tools, but by a failure to execute the fundamentals.Ross brings a pragmatic, business-first lens to cybersecurity, cutting through hype, buzzwords, and so-called “silver bullets” to focus on what actually works in the real world. Together, they explore why breaches still happen even in organizations that invest heavily in security and why that investment still matters.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why most cyber breaches still come down to security fundamentals, not next-gen toolsWhy cybersecurity has become a “market for silver bullets”—and what that means for buyers and vendorsHow misaligned incentives across engineering, IT, sales, and security undermine long-term securityWhy compliance should be treated as a baseline, not the finish lineHow to think about security ROI in a way executives actually understandHow to evaluate AI in cybersecurity without getting lost in the hypeWhy security leaders must learn to lead without authority, similar to product managersWhat gives Ross optimism about the future of cybersecurity heading into 2026
