Attackers are smarter, more sophisticated and move more quickly than ever. If your organization hasn’t been breached yet, odds are you will be. On The Segment, you will hear from industry experts about the latest cybersecurity trends. We will unpack how modern organizations can reduce risk and curtail impact with Zero Trust - a “never trust, always verify” approach to cybersecurity.

    Zero Trust for the AI Era | John Kindervag, Rich Mogull, and Don Yeske

    AI is giving attackers new ways to move faster, scale attacks, and explore every possible path through an environment. But does that mean defenders need an entirely new security strategy? In this special episode of The Segment, Raghu Nandakumara is joined by John Kindervag, creator of Zero Trust and Chief Evangelist at Illumio; Rich Mogull, Chief Analyst at the Cloud Security Alliance; and Don Yeske, longtime federal cybersecurity leader and Senior Solutions Architect and Enablement Lead at Virtru, to celebrate the launch of their new book, Cyber Resilience at Machine Speed: The Zero Trust Model for the AI Era. Together, they explore why Zero Trust remains critical in the age of AI, how organizations can identify and secure their most important protect surfaces, and why trying to defend everything at once is often a recipe for failure. Download the book here: https://www.illumio.com/resource-center/cyber-resilience-at-machine-speed-the-zero-trust-model-for-the-ai-era In this episode, you’ll learn: Why AI changes the speed and scale of cyberattacks, but not the fundamentals of securityHow protect surfaces make Zero Trust practical and achievableWhy attackers face a fundamentally different problem than defendersHow segmentation and security boundaries can make an attacker’s job harderWhy “the accumulation of tactics isn’t strategy”How organizations can prioritize their most critical assets instead of trying to secure everything at onceWhy AI is making security fundamentals more urgent, not obsoleteHow Zero Trust has evolved from the cloud era to the age of frontier AI

    Cloud Was the Warning. AI Is the Test. | Ashish Rajan

    AI may be the latest technology transformation, but for security teams, the challenges feel familiar. In this episode of The Segment, Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Ashish Rajan, CISO of TechRiot, host of the Cloud Security Podcast and AI Security Podcast, and author of AI Security Engineering, to explore what the cloud era can teach us about securing AI. They discuss how AI is reshaping cloud security, why the shared responsibility model gets even murkier with AI, and what changes when security teams have to protect agents whose behavior and intent aren’t always predictable. Ashish also shares how organizations can start building practical AI security programs today, why continuous evals and human oversight matter, and the AI skills security practitioners will need for what comes next. https://www.aisecuritypodcast.com/https://www.cloudsecuritypodcast.tv/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/1394387687?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback

    The Human Attack Surface: What Cybersecurity Can Learn from the Secret Service | Hazel Cerra

    What can 25 years of protecting the President teach the cybersecurity world?  In this episode, Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Hazel Cerra, Director of Digital Security Convergence at BlackCloak and a 25-year veteran special agent of the U.S. Secret Service, to explore what protective intelligence can teach cybersecurity about defending the human attack surface. Hazel draws on her path from investigating counterfeit and credit card fraud, to protecting President Clinton, to pioneering critical systems protection for presidential visits, sharing how she came to see the Secret Service's layered "zero fail" security model as a direct parallel to Zero Trust, and why understanding an adversary's motive, means, and opportunity is as critical in cyber as it is in physical protection. Raghu and Hazel discuss: How the Secret Service evaluates and prioritizes threats using motive, means, and opportunityWhy "zero fail" protection is the same discipline as Zero Trust securityHow cyber convergence changed physical protection, from hackable elevators to compromised camerasWhy executives' home networks have become the new "path of least resistance" for attackersBalancing security with usability, without creating unnecessary frictionHow deepfakes and AI impersonation are changing verification and executive riskHazel closes with a practical tip for spotting a deepfake on a video call, and a reminder that as executives become as visible as presidents once were, protecting them has to extend far beyond the corporate perimeter.
