Zero trust has taken the cybersecurity industry by storm, creating hype, misunderstanding and confusion. What does zero trust actually mean? And how can you adopt it? Who better to answer those questions than the creator of zero trust, John Kindervag, who joined our latest episode of Meet the Chief to talk about the story behind developing this seminal security strategy over a decade ago and how it has evolved to address modern threats. John also discusses the importance of segmentation in establishing a zero trust foundation and provides valuable insights for security leaders looking to strengthen their zero trust posture and stay ahead of constantly changing adversaries.

Roughly 95 percent of cyber incidents can be traced back to human error – a clear signal that a mature cyber strategy requires so much more than tooling. In this episode of Meet the Chief, we talk with Proofpoint CEO Sumit Dhawan about why Proofpoint is taking a more human-centric approach to cyber and how AI is changing the equation – from both the defender and attacker perspective.

Essential cyber strategies like Zero Trust are only possible if security teams are aware of the entire attack surface. For that reason, comprehensive visibility of all your networks is crucial to defending in today's complex threat landscape. In this episode of Meet the Chief, we talk with Forescout CEO Barry Mainz about how you can create that comprehensive visibility within your organization and how you can better stay on top of risk and remediate exposure.

Traditional network security approaches often fail to protect connected devices across various industries. Elisity's identity-based microsegmentation solution offers organizations a straightforward way to secure their entire device ecosystem without disrupting essential workflows.

This allows businesses to mitigate risks, streamline operations, and maintain the safety and integrity of their assets and data. In this presentation, Elisity CEO James Winebrenner will explain how this cloud-native solution enables a smooth transition to a zero-trust environment while ensuring operational continuity. Learn how Elisity is transforming network security and helping organizations navigate the challenges of modern cyber threats.

Threat actors are moving faster than ever – often as soon as a vulnerability emerges. In this episode, Cisco's Jeetu Patel dives into Cisco Hypershield – one of the most significant innovation's to ever come out of the security and networking powerhouse. Jeetu details how Hypersheid can be integrated into in-flight AI strategies, embracing a product mindset and key areas you should be prioritizing today to win tomorrow.

Digital transformation strategies are drastically widening organizational threat apertures. Hear from ThreatConnect CEO Balaji Yelamanchili about how his company is helping security leaders stay ahead of vulnerabilities before they emerge. This episode also features NightDragon's Amy De Salvatore, who talks about how the venture capital firm for cyber is scaling the industry's most effective commercial defenses to combat the cyber offensive landscape.

If cyber attacks are inevitable — and for even the most security-conscious businesses, they are — then the future of cybersecurity is resiliency. In that context, it will be increasingly important for CISOs and security teams to maintain uninterrupted business operations with a resilience strategy. To get there, their data needs to be secure. Join WWT Head of Global Security Strategy Traci Sever as she talks with Rubrik founder and CEO Bipul Sinha about how organizations can keep their businesses moving regardless of the threat environment by improving data protection, monitoring risk and adopting a recovery and resilience strategy. Bipul also talks about how Rubrik is integrating AI into its solutions to fight fire with fire and draws upon his work as a venture capitalist to provide growth strategies that can be applied to businesses of all kinds.

Enterprise IT environments have grown in complexity, leaving leaders to grapple with countless disparate tools and manual processes that manage their environments. Security teams need a simplified, unified approach that breaks down silos, provides more certainty and reduces risk. Join WWT Head of Global Security Strategy Traci Sever as she talks with Tanium CEO Dan Streetman about how Tanium is helping IT operations and security teams work more effectively together and deliver certainty to the most security conscious organizations in the world. Dan also details Tanium's unique Converged Endpoint Management (XEM) platform that can provide real-time data on every computing endpoint, outlines how organizations can use that data to unlock AI breakthroughs and discusses how his time as a U.S. Army Ranger has instilled a culture of resilience, integrity and teamwork at Tanium.

A near constant stream of change and disruption is gripping business leaders like never before. It's the new reality. Adapt to change or risk falling behind. Stay ahead of the cyber curve by hearing from a trio of emerging cyber vendors — each of which are part of the investment portfolio of SixThirty, a global venture capital firm based out of St. Louis that invests in early-stage companies at the intersection of cyber, health, wealth and privacy. Join WWT's Head of Global Security Strategy, Traci Sever as she meets with Aaron Bray, CEO and co-founder of Phylum, an automated software supply chain security company; Glen Day, founder, CEO and Chairman of NvisionX, a data protection and classification platform; and Saeed Abu-Nimeh, CEO and co-founder of SecLytics, an advanced behavioral profiling and machine learning startup. And from SixThirty, we'll be talking to David Fairman, a venture partner and CISO in Residence, about industry trends and insights.

We've all heard it. It's not if your organization will succumb to a cyber attack, it's when. But what if that wasn't the case? What if there were a purpose-built deep learning cybersecurity framework that could help prevent attacks before take place. Join Deep Instinct CIO Carl Froggett as he talks with WWT's Head of Global Security Strategy Traci Sever about Deep Instinct's prevention-first approach and how it is making an impact on the industry. Carl also talks about unintended consequences of artificial intelligence and tackles the talent gap that is growing within the cyber community.

You can't protect what you can't see. And increasingly, as workloads traverse cloud environments and hybrid work models — not to mention the explosion of generative AI solutions — security leaders are flying blind. Join WWT's Head of Global Security Strategy Traci Sever and ExtraHop CEO Patrick Dennis, as he talks about challenges in the extended detection and response (XDR) space, the importance of gaining clarity on what happens between end points and how security leaders can best address the talent gap facing the industry.

The concept of identity and access management has changed dramatically over the last decade. As organizations gravitate toward AI solutions, leaders are being forced to think about where they depend on humans for security and how they can take humans out of the loop. Because humans fighting computers is a losing battle. Join WWT's Head of Global Security Strategy, Traci Sever and Jasson Casey, CEO of Beyond Identity — the company founded on the basic premise that passwords should be eradicated — as he offers unique perspective on why most identity vendors solve for productivity issues, but not security issues, and why identity and access management is the ideal way to verify who you are. Jasson also talks about executive priorities over the next 12-18 months and the implications generative AI is having across the board.
