In this dynamic episode of The Segment, two of cybersecurity's biggest names reunite with host, Raghu  Nandakumara, for a no-holds-barred conversation: John Kindervag, the godfather of Zero Trust, and Dr. Chase Cunningham, aka Dr. Zero Trust. What unfolds is a fast-paced, insight-packed dialogue that spans decades of hard-earned wisdom, unexpected humor, and a shared mission to demystify modern cyber defense.John and Chase reflect on the global evolution of Zero Trust—from its scrappy beginnings to its widespread adoption by Fortune 500s, military leaders, and even elder care facilities. They dive into why context-driven maps are now indispensable, how graph-based security is reshaping the cyber terrain, and where AI and automation can give defenders a real edge. Expect candid takes on the limits of SIEMs, the failure of red teaming without strategy, and why defenders need to start thinking like attackers if they want to win.There's personal reflection too—Chase shares why he was reluctant to pick up the Zero Trust torch, and John opens up about the real heart behind the strategy. With wit, war stories, and straight talk, they make a clear case: cybersecurity isn't about perfection—it's about deterrence, resilience, and knowing what truly matters. Topics Covered:The origin and global adoption of Zero Trust Why “good maps” are critical for cyber resilience Real-world applications of AI in cyber defense Why attackers often outmaneuver defenders—and how to change that The psychology of leadership in cybersecurity strategy From Chick-fil-A to Bletchley Park: the unexpected places Zero Trust shows up Chase's take on stock-picking based on breach trends (yes, really)  Resources Mentioned:Think Like an Attacker by Dr. Chase Cunningham John Kindervag's Zero Trust 5-Step Model “Zero Trust Terrain & Holding the High Ground” LinkedIn Live   Stay Connected with our host, Raghu on LinkedInFor more information about Illumio, check out our website at illumio.com

In this episode of Detection at Scale, Jack speaks with Erik Bloch, VP of Security, Illumio, about why most security operations teams aren't ready for AI tools and what fundamental processes must be in place first. Erik challenges the industry's obsession with new technologies, sharing stories from his experience transforming underperforming security teams at major companies like Cisco, Salesforce, and Atlassian.  His conversation with Jack explores how to measure what actually matters in security operations, from team capacity utilization to business outcome dispositions, and why proper ticketing systems and actionable metrics are prerequisites for any advanced tooling to be effective. Topics discussed: The importance of establishing fundamental processes like ticketing systems and metrics before implementing AI tools in security operations. How to measure team capacity utilization and resource allocation to identify when security operations teams are operating beyond sustainable levels. Why traditional security metrics like mean time to detect are often vanity metrics that don't provide actionable business intelligence. The critical need for security leaders to communicate in business language with concrete data rather than anecdotal risk assessments. How managed service providers will likely be the first to successfully adopt AI tools due to their standardized processes. The challenge of proving AI tool effectiveness when most organizations lack baseline metrics to measure improvement against established benchmarks. Why security teams gravitate toward building custom tools and how this impacts their approach to adopting commercial AI solutions. The role of MCP in enabling security teams to create their own agents and integrate multiple tools. How AI should focus on eliminating routine tasks like phishing email analysis rather than trying to catch advanced persistent threats. The framework for implementing AI tools by starting with business outcomes, defining metrics, identifying capabilities, and then inserting automation.  Listen to more episodes: Apple  Spotify  YouTube Website

In this eye-opening episode of The Segment, we welcome Brett Johnson—once known as the "Original Internet Godfather" and a former U.S. Most Wanted cybercriminal. Now a reformed expert, Brett works to help law enforcement and organizations stay ahead of digital threats.Together, we explore the chilling reality of modern cyber threats, deepfake technology, and the manipulation of perception in an increasingly digital world. Brett shares his insights on why “the perception of reality is more important than reality itself,” how AI is fueling new forms of deception, and why personal relationships and trust are more critical than ever in cybersecurity.In this episode we also discuss:Why defenders continue to fall shortThe biggest misconceptions about cybercriminalsWhy billion-dollar security budgets aren't enoughThe role of regulations in shaping cybersecurity cultureWhy most cyberattacks succeed due to simple oversights, not sophisticated tacticsHow organizations can force attackers to adapt by closing common security gapsThe importance of layered security and data-driven threat detection Stay Connected with our host, Raghu on LinkedInFor more information about Illumio, check out our website at illumio.com

How prepared is your business for a ransomware attack? Not just to prevent it, but to continue operating when it happens. In this episode, I sit down with Trevor Dearing, Director of Critical Infrastructure at Illumio, to discuss the latest findings from their global ransomware report and what they reveal about cyber resilience. Trevor shares insight from a survey of more than 3,000 organisations across multiple sectors. The most concerning figure is that 58 percent of those impacted by ransomware were forced to halt operations. That number has risen sharply from 43 percent just two years ago. Despite this, many businesses in the UK still avoid reporting attacks, often due to fears around reputational damage or potential retaliation. Trevor explains why that reluctance is misguided and how public support, improved infrastructure, and more explicit government guidance could encourage more transparency. We also explore the rise of containment as a more practical and cost-effective approach than prevention alone. Rather than trying to stop every attack at the perimeter, organisations are learning how to isolate and limit damage quickly. Trevor explains how zero trust architecture, microsegmentation, and one-click containment tools are being used to keep systems operational even during an incident. Only 13 percent of organisations believe their cyber resilience exceeds what is required. Trevor helps us understand why this number remains low and where organisations should focus to shift from vulnerability to resilience. From evolving regulations to future applications of AI in security, this conversation covers what leaders need to know if they prepare for the next generation of cyber threats.

When personal trauma meets professional purpose, it can reshape an entire industry—just ask Dr. Kelley Misata.Our guest today is Founder and CEO of Sightline Security and president of the Open Information Security Foundation. Dr. Misata brings a unique lens to the field, shaped by her personal journey as a stalking survivor turned cybersecurity advocate. From supporting nonprofits working with trafficking survivors to influencing how organizations manage open source risk, her work underscores the need to approach security with empathy, patience, and mission-first thinking.Together, we explore why cybersecurity can no longer be treated as a siloed function. Instead, it must be embedded into every decision, guided by understanding and tailored to the needs of those it aims to protect—especially in the nonprofit world. The conversation spans the dangers of digital assumptions, the importance of storytelling in awareness training, and how open source communities can be as critical to resilience as enterprise vendors.

Please enjoy this encore of Career Notes. Senior Program Manager for Governance, Risk and Compliance at Illumio, Maria Thompson-Saeb shares experiences that led to her career in cybersecurity. Interested in computers and not a fan of math, Maria opted for information systems management rather than computer science. She started her career as a government contractor. Once in the private sector, Maria moved into the Unix and Linux environments where she says "something that would totally change everything." She gained an interest in security and took it upon herself to train up and move into that realm. Maria notes it was not without roadblocks, but that being flexible helped her address those challenges and make her career in security happen. We thank Maria for sharing her story.
