What keeps Dr. Larry Ponemon, founder of the Ponemon Institute and author of the long-running Cost of a Data Breach report, up at night? In my recent conversation with him, he had a definitive answer: ransomware. “Ransomware is a gateway to huge problems,” he said. “It starts small, but then it becomes insidious.” Ponemon has spent over two decades studying the true impact of cyberattacks. His latest research, The Global Cost of Ransomware Study sponsored by Illumio, shows a troubling trend.

There’s a famous quote by Einstein which reads: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”In cybersecurity, this saying has never been more fitting. We’ve seen years of increased investment, a figure will reach $212 billion this year, yet the cost of breaches continues to rise, reaching $4.8 million in 2024. That’s 10 percent higher than 2023, according to IBM. Something isn’t working.

In cybersecurity, we often say, “Think like an attacker.” But few of us ever get the chance to hear directly from someone who lived that life — and turned it around.

What if we approached cybersecurity not as a compliance checkbox or a crisis response but as an act of service? That was the question I kept returning to after my conversation with Dr. Kelley Misata, founder and CEO of Sightline Security, on the latest episode of The Segment. Misata's path into cybersecurity wasn't typical. It was personal.

“Only careless people get hacked.” It’s a commonly held belief in cybersecurity. But is it true? Dr. Erik Huffman, a leading expert in cyberpsychology, has spent years researching this question.

“You can’t protect what you can’t see.” It’s one of the basic truths in cybersecurity. But in today’s threat landscape, seeing what’s happening in your network isn’t enough. You need to understand it. Organizations must make sense of all the interactions, dependencies, and patterns in their environment to figure out what matters — and just as important, ignore what doesn't. That’s where observability comes in, and it’s why we're so excited to announce Illumio Insights.
