Sander sat down with him at the show to discuss how statistical AI and GenAI can help find an answer. During this conversation, Don and Sander discuss many facets of what drives #innova...

Keeping bad guys out is always better than trying to detect breaches after they have happened. Many security vendors seem to have given up on that idea, however. That is, there's a lot of focus on an 'assume breach' attitude nowadays, not so much on 'assume our defenses will hold'. There are a lot of reasons why this is the case, reasons we have gone into at length in earl...

Organizations invest $200 billion globally in IT security. However, data breaches and ransomware attacks are still rampant. How can that be?

The acquisition of Splunk by Cisco was big news near the end of 2023. After closing the acquisition somewh...

The human is often seen as the weak link in cybersecurity. You can have all the security tooling in the world, but if attackers target people they can still get in. People in general, so also employees of organizations, need to be made aware of how to spot these types of attacks. In other words, we need Human Detection and Response, i.e. HDR just as much as we need MDR and XDR. KnowBe4 has been fo...
