In today’s volatile cybersecurity landscape, chief information security officers (CISOs) operate in a paradox. They are hired to safeguard against risk—but increasingly, they are the risk. As breaches grow more frequent and regulatory scrutiny more intense, CISOs now find themselves exposed not only to reputational fallout but to personal liability as well. This is no longer a theoretical concern.

Hybrid cloud has fundamentally changed how systems are built—but how we secure them hasn’t evolved at the same pace. The illusion that a firewall can “secure the edge” is still baked into most architectures, even though there’s no meaningful edge anymore. Workloads are scattered across cloud regions, on-prem nodes, containers, ephemeral environments, and shared services. Let’s stop pretending packet filtering is enough.
