    Episode 47: Why Reinforce MDR with Zero-Trust Microsegmentation

    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.
