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.

For year now, Asia's cyber threat landscape has been marked by escalating nation-state attacks and rampant cloud breaches. In 2026, it stands to be transformed by integrating agentic AI for proactive threat detection. This autonomous technology could pre-empt lateral movements, reduce alert fatigue, and enable real-time breach containment, bolstering defences for organisations amid high cloud saturation and sophisticated adversarial tactics.In this PodChats for FutureCISO, we are joined by Andrew Kay, Director of Systems Engineering APJ at Illumio, to share with us his views on how CISOs in Asia can use behavioural AI to shields against multi-cloud vulnerabilities.1.       How are Asian organisations employing machine learning algorithms, such as graph neural networks, within AI frameworks to manage hybrid cloud complexities and mitigate nation-state-sponsored APTs?2.       What specific vulnerabilities in multi-cloud environments, exacerbated by Asia's high cloud saturation, enable east-west lateral movement, and how can agentic AI utilise behavioural analytics to pre-empt such exploits?3.       How do AI-driven security graphs, leveraging real-time entity resolution and anomaly detection via unsupervised learning, offer a dynamic topology of workloads, users, and communications to identify subtle deviations indicative of threats?4.       Amid Asia's exposure to APTs, how can agentic AI leverage multi-agent systems for real-time threat correlation, accelerating decision trees and automating containment protocols like micro-segmentation?5.       What capabilities might agentic AI provide in tailoring threat intelligence feeds and remediation workflows to specific roles, such as integrating with SOAR platforms for threat hunters or generating compliance-aligned reports for analysts?6.       What technical risks arise from agentic AI deployment, including prompt injection vulnerabilities or model drift leading to erroneous autonomous decisions, and what mitigation strategies, such as human-in-the-loop safeguards, are suitable for Asian regulatory environments?7.       Under which conditions could agentic AI interoperate with existing EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) and XDR (Extended Detection and Response) tools to orchestrate automated responses, such as dynamic access controls, in expansive cloud infrastructures?

The perimeter will fail. What matters is whether your business turns one incident into a disaster. Andrew Rubin, Founder and CEO of Illumio, explains how breach containment reduces blast radius, why category timing is “luck,” and what leaders must do as AI speeds up attackers and defenders.

What happens when we finally admit that stopping every cyberattack was never realistic in the first place? That is the thread running through this conversation, recorded at the start of the year when reflection tends to be more honest and the noise dial is turned down a little. I was joined by returning guest Raghu Nandakumara from Illumio, nearly three years after our last discussion, to pick up a question that has aged far too well. How do organizations talk about cybersecurity value when breaches keep happening anyway? This episode is less about shiny tools and more about uncomfortable truths. We spend time unpacking why security teams still struggle to show value, why prevention-only thinking keeps setting leaders up for disappointment, and why the conversation is slowly shifting toward resilience and containment. Raghu is refreshingly direct on why reducing cyber risk, rather than chasing impossible guarantees, is the only metric that really holds up under boardroom scrutiny. We also talk about the strange contradiction playing out across industries. Attackers are often using familiar paths like misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and missing patches, yet many organizations still fail to close those gaps. The issue, as Raghu explains, is rarely a lack of tools. It is usually fragmented coverage, outdated processes, and a talent pipeline that blocks capable people from entering the field while claiming there is a skills shortage. One of the most practical parts of this conversation centers on mindset. Instead of asking whether an attacker got in, Raghu argues that leaders should be asking how far they were able to go once inside. That shift alone changes how success is measured, how teams prepare for incidents, and how pressure-filled P1 moments are handled when boards want answers every fifteen minutes. We also touch on how legal action, public claims campaigns, and customer lawsuits are changing the stakes after a breach, forcing executives to rethink how they frame cyber investment. From there, Raghu shares how Illumio has been working with Microsoft to strengthen internal resilience at massive scale, and why visibility and segmentation are becoming harder to ignore. This is a conversation about realism, responsibility, and growing up as an industry. If cybersecurity is really about safety and not slogans, what would you want your organization to stop saying, and what would you rather hear instead? Please feel free to upload the podcast.

Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com We are at the point where AI is almost expected in any technology offering. Today, we sat down with John Kindervag from Illumio to learn how AI can be applied to the world of federal Zero Trust. Some have characterized today's current cybersecurity situation as an arms race; some call it a whack-a-mole game. An innovative technology, such as AI, becomes popularized, and adversaries use it to improve attacks. As a result, the defenders of data must bolster their response, and they, in turn, use AI to defend. He highlights the importance of visibility, using AI to quickly parse logs, and the concept of dwell time, in which attackers can remain undetected for extended periods. To protect valuable data, Kindervag distinguishes between the attack surface and the defense surface. Although a malicious actor can instigate AI-driven attacks across any surface, sensitive information can be protected by thorough segmentation of the protected surface. During the interview, Kindervag provides tactics to manage legacy technology, fragmented data, and the critical topic of risk-averse culture.

Ep. 281 How Zero Trust Automation Helps Federal Agencies do More with Less Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com As this interview was recorded, the federal government was in the middle of a shutdown. Hundreds of pundits have given interviews about the politics of the situation; very few have looked at the impact on cybersecurity during a phase of workforce reduction. Today, we sat down with Gary Barlet, the Public Sector CTO at Illumio, to see whether Zero Trust can help the federal government bridge this short personnel gap. Barlet begins by giving an overview of Zero Trust and automation. Rather than having human beings vet entry into federal systems, the concept is to use an automated process that reviews credentials and decides on permission. Barlet emphasizes the importance of Zero Trust in automating security tasks and maintaining operational resilience, especially with reduced staff. He continues to mention several other benefits of Zero Trust in a federal environment. Compliance:  A well-thought-out Zero Trust architecture will enable managers to collect data to demonstrate policy enforcement. Legacy: One can effectively take existing systems and "ring fence" them off. This approach creates hundreds and hundreds of rings of defense. Design:  During the interview, Gary recommends that you have a handle on the real traffic to reduce complexity. That way, when policies change, the rules can adapt to the environment. Maturity Level:  Although CISA has a maturity level for Zero Trust. Barlet distills down some of the requirements for which efforts can be applied to sensitive systems. He suggests focusing on security, not necessarily on a grade. Additionally, he addresses the challenges of managing complex, hybrid environments and the emergence of shadow AI models, stressing the need for robust policies and controls.

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
