Resilience Over Panic: Rethinking Ransomware with Trevor Dearing of Illumio

In this episode of The Business of Cybersecurity, I speak with Trevor Dearing, Director of Critical Infrastructure at Illumio, to unpack some eye-opening truths from their latest ransomware report. We explore why more than half of global companies still have to halt operations when ransomware strikes and why so many UK businesses remain reluctant to report incidents. Trevor shares candid insights into what is working, what is not, and why shifting focus from prevention to containment could be the real key to resilience. He explains how modern containment tactics like advanced obfuscation and one-click ringfencing can limit damage and keep critical operations running, even when attackers break through. We also discuss why only 13 percent of companies believe their cyber resilience is strong enough and what it will take to close that gap as regulations tighten worldwide. If you want a grounded take on how to prepare for the attacks that will inevitably come, rather than just hoping they never do, this conversation is for you.
