About this episode

In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, Tyler Moffitt talks with Robert Salzwedell about what happens when attackers get past the firewall — and why keeping them out is no longer enough.With cloud services, remote workers, SaaS applications and compromised credentials blurring the boundaries of the traditional network, organisations can no longer assume that someone is safe simply because they are already inside.Robert explains why organisations need to look beyond the perimeter, understand where their sensitive data lives, rethink how they trust identities, and use behaviour to spot suspicious activity. They also discuss Zero Trust, AI agents, continuous security validation and how organisations can limit the damage when an account or device is compromised.In this episode:Why the traditional network perimeter is no longer enoughWhat happens when attackers use legitimate identitiesWhy understanding your data is critical to securityHow Zero Trust can help limit access and reduce riskThe growing security challenge around AI and AI agentsWhy security needs to be continuously assessed and improvedPractical steps organisations can take to reduce their exposureA conversation about moving from simply trying to keep attackers out to making sure that, when they do get in, they can't get very far.As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcasts  Top 50 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts Top 70 Security Hacking PodcastsThis list is the most comprehensive ranking of Cyber Security Podcasts online and we are honoured to feature amongst the best!Follow or subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast platform.
