Let’s imagine you have simple lock on your front door. Something a burglar or vandal could easily pick, gaining unrestricted access to your residence. Fearful of the potential loss you add a deadbolt lock to the door, making it much more difficult to enter.

In cybersecurity, there’s a similar strategy called Zero Trust microsegmentation.

Today’s guest, Bria Haugli, cybersecurity expert and CEO of SideChannel, explains how Zero Trust microsegmentation can reinforce managed detection and response (MDR) initiatives by enabling tighter access control. And more importantly, by containing the damage from breaches and malware, including insidious ransomware.

Don’t miss our conversation about this paradigm shift in network security.

When it comes to cybersecurity, most businesses focus on prevention and detection.

That sounds reasonable, but today’s guest – a former CIA hacker, presidential cybersecurity commissioner and Air Force Cyber Wingman argues that approach is too little, too late – literally!

Businesses are compromised on average 27 months before detection!

Instead of waiting for the inevitable breach, he advocates a proactive approach designed to stay one step ahead of your adversary.
