In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, we sit down with three powerhouse women in cybersecurity—Emma, Aparna, and Sumi—who bring distinctly different journeys from pharmacy, law, technical sales, and engineering into one common mission: reshaping the cybersecurity industry from within. Together, they dive deep into what makes cybersecurity exciting, how resilience and authenticity fuel success, and why community—not conformity—is key to lasting impact.With candid conversations about navigating gender bias, building real allyship, and mentoring the next generation of women in tech, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to thrive in a male-dominated space. From managing cross-functional teams to balancing business needs with technical demands, these leaders share practical advice, hard-won lessons, and a powerful vision for a more inclusive, empowered future in cyber.Other topics we talked about:What drew each guest to cybersecurity from nontraditional backgrounds The role of mentorship and sponsorship in career growth Confronting misconceptions and biases in the workplace Why visibility and feedback are crucial for career advancement Balancing empathy and authority in leadership Retention strategies for women in tech The power of storytelling in inspiring the next generation How to build trust across business and security teams Whether you're deep in the industry or just cyber-curious, you'll leave inspired to challenge the status quo—and uplift others along the way.Stay Connected with our host, Raghu on LinkedInFor more information about Illumio, check out our website at illumio.com

In a world where cybercrime is a business and national security secrets are often hidden in plain sight, this episode uncovers the gripping intersection of espionage and cybersecurity. Brian Boetig, a national security and public safety expert with 35 years of experience spanning the FBI, CIA, U.S. diplomacy, law enforcement, and consulting, shares fascinating stories from his career, including an unexpected brush with Russian intelligence, all thanks to a dachshund. In this episode we also discuss:The evolution of spycraft, from traditional field operations to modern cyber warfareHow cybercrime has transformed into a full-fledged business modelInsights into decoding behavioral patterns in cyberattacksThe complexities of cyber insurance and its limitationsHow businesses may be relying on cyber insurance in the wrong waysExamine how leadership engagement in cybersecurity has evolvedHighlight the critical role the C-suite plays in driving security initiativesStay Connected with our host, Raghu on LinkedInFor more information about Illumio, check out our website at illumio.com

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."

What does it truly mean to "never trust, always verify"? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by John Kindervag, Senior Vice President of Cybersecurity Strategy at Illumio and the pioneer of the Zero Trust approach to cybersecurity. With cyber threats evolving at an unprecedented rate, John argues that Zero Trust is no longer optional for organisations moving to cloud-based environments—it's a necessity. John explains why the traditional trust-based approach to cybersecurity is obsolete and shares actionable insights on adopting a Zero Trust strategy. He highlights the critical steps in implementing Zero Trust, emphasizing the importance of starting small with Protect Surfaces and flow maps to create manageable, effective security policies. Through real-world examples, he demonstrates how organisations have reduced their attack surfaces by up to 90% by embracing this model. We also explore common pitfalls, such as attempting to implement Zero Trust all at once, and how incremental changes can set the stage for long-term success. John sheds light on how Zero Trust dramatically enhances an organisation's resilience against cyberattacks, providing continuous monitoring and automated policies to safeguard critical assets in an increasingly cloud-driven world. How can organisations move beyond outdated approaches to cybersecurity and embrace the transformative power of Zero Trust? Are you ready to take the first steps toward securing your digital future? Tune in to this essential conversation with John Kindervag, and let us know your thoughts!
