Segment 2 Libraesva Interview Generative AI is having a transformative effect across almost every industry, but arguably the area it has had the most significant impact is cybercrime. Discriminative AI can now learn to recognize what constitutes normal communication patterns, so anything out of the ordinary can be flagged. AI is also enabling human security analysts to automate the triage of reported emails, to rapidly identify false positives and keep up with emerging cybercriminal tactics. Finally, specialized Small Language Models (SLMs) using neural networks are able to analyze and comprehend the semantic intent of the message. This segment is sponsored by Libraesva.

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.

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!

In this episode, host Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Neil Thacker, CISO EMEA at Netskope. Neil joined the show to discuss the evolving role of the CISO, as well as the challenges and opportunities they face in the context of new technologies.  --------“A good friend of mine is a CIO for a very large organization and he shared a great story. Obviously, during the pandemic, everyone was working remotely and they set up this whole Zero Trust principle and policy set to better secure their remote workers. It was interesting, he said, when everyone started coming back into the office, we realized we had better security when everyone was remote because of the changes that we made. So, we wanted to apply those same principles to our internal network and then we realized, can we just get rid of our internal network, our corporate network?”--------Time Stamps (03:14) The role of the CISO and its evolution(07:59) Challenges and opportunities in the CISO role(21:49) Importance of context in security operations(31:54) Simplifying compliance and driving innovation(45:23) Advice for Aspiring CISOs --------SponsorAssume breach, minimize impact, increase resilience ROI, and save millions in downtime costs — with Illumio, the Zero Trust Segmentation company. Learn more at illumio.com.--------LinksConnect with Neil on LinkedInIllumio World Tour

In this episode, host Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Tristan Morgan, Managing Director Cyber Security at BT Group, and Mark Hendry, Digital Services Partner at Evelyn Partners to discuss DORA regulations and compliance in the financial services sector. They discuss the interplay between regulatory standards like NIS2 and DORA, the importance of proportionality and operational resilience, and the broader adoption of principles such as Zero Trust. Learn more on how to achieve DORA compliance: Illumio.com/dora--------"If you did a search on DORA and looked for the word segmented, ss in micro-segmentation, instantaneous severing of elements of the network in order to contain and what have you, it's in there. It's absolutely in there. So, you just need to know what you're looking for and you'll find it. And Zero Trust will evolve. It might evolve into a different name or a different set of characteristics that we seek to achieve, but DORA should last. And we might find terms like Zero Trust start to pop up in regulatory technical standards or implementing technical standards that accompany it, but it's absolutely in there because it's such a good way to protect our organizations from harm, the types of harm that we've talked about." - Mark "If you were to build something completely separate and ask all businesses to comply with something that was different, not only would there be significant cost, I think actually you get much greater resistance. Whereas, these regulations like DORA actually build upon industry-recognized best practices that many businesses are already adopting to a degree, and it actually is sensible, but it also makes the barrier to compliance less." - Tristan--------Time Stamps (04:22) Current cyber threat landscape (11:02) Operational resilience and cyber resilience(12427) Compliance and regulatory standards (15:22) A historical look at compliance (25:58) The tipping point for the EU to prioritize operational resilience(36:48) What differentiates DORA from other legislation? (44:24) The role of Zero Trust within DORA  --------SponsorAssume breach, minimize impact, increase resilience ROI, and save millions in downtime costs — with Illumio, the Zero Trust Segmentation company. Learn more at illumio.com.--------LinksConnect with Tristan on LinkedInConnect with Mark on LinkedIn

In this episode, host Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Thomas Mueller-Lynch, Global Director Digital Identities at Siemens to explore Siemens' ambitious zero trust program. They delve into the challenges of implementation and the strategic benefits of zero trust in bolstering product security and streamlining IT architecture. Thomas highlights the essential role of identity management and the importance of collaboration between IT, cybersecurity, and business units in advancing zero trust effectively.--------"You cannot run a Zero Trust program exclusively out of IT. You cannot run it exclusively out of cybersecurity. And also if the business, or at least our organization, which is quite big and lots of different business units, if everybody of these business units starts by their own something, it will also not work. It will only work as teamwork all together. So IT typically brings in the services and the service operational model. Cybersecurity brings in the rules and partly also kind of architecture, as well as IT by the way, and business obviously owns all of these assets. So if you don't have them on the same table, at the same table it won't work at all."--------Time Stamps *(03:56) Thomas' journey at Siemens*(08:59) Challenges in Zero Trust implementation*(16:08) Business benefits of Zero Trust*(27:32) Balancing big vision with tactical steps*(34:06) Identity's role in Zero Trust*(43:10) Collaborating across IT, security, and business for zero trust success*(44:59) How Zero Trust drives competitive advantage --------SponsorAssume breach, minimize impact, increase resilience ROI, and save millions in downtime costs — with Illumio, the Zero Trust Segmentation company. Learn more at illumio.com.--------LinksConnect with Thomas on LinkedInDownload your copy of The Forrester Wave for Microsegmentation Solutions: Illumio is a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Microsegmentation Solutions, Q3 2024.
