Prepare to be breached: the radical cyber-security strategy that might save your business
Posted: 30th Jan 2025
If you’re struggling to keep cyber-attacks out of your network, Illumio Chief Product Officer Mario Espinoza has some advice you might not expect from a security vendor: admit that you can’t.
“The breach is going to happen no matter what,” he says. Today’s IT environments are just too complex to prevent them, he argues; the attacks too advanced; the technical flaws too numerous. And, above all, people are just too prone to human error.
The sooner security leaders shift their mindset away from trying to prevent breaches to containing them, the better off we’ll all be. “If you’re a sensible organisation, you’re going to accept that,” says Espinoza. “Now the question becomes, how do you prevent the attacker from moving to other parts of your organisation?”
The answer? Zero Trust.
