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 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.

“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.

But while the deadline has passed, finance firms that haven’t quite gotten everything lined up shouldn’t panic yet. DORA was created around the principle of reasonable progress, not the expectation that every operational challenge would be 100% solved by January 17th.
