In this episode, Benny Lakunishok, co-founder and CEO at Zero Networks, explains how their automated approach to microsegmentation addresses these challenges by putting a network bubble around every asset, from clients and servers to OT devices and cloud resources, without requiring agents or breaking existing environments. Joining him are Shaun Marion, vp and CSO at Xcel Energy, and Doug Mayer, vp and CSO at WCG.

• Why does complexity make lateral movement such a persistent problem despite years of awareness?
• How can microsegmentation be deployed at scale without becoming a massive science project?
• How does Zero Networks handle MFA and privileged access management across all asset types?
• What happens if there's already a threat living in your environment during the learning phase?
• How to segment OT environments that use different protocols beyond standard IT systems?
• Can automated learning really create accurate policies without extensive human intervention?
• How does network segmentation fit into AI capabilities and hybrid cloud strategies?
• What's the real-world experience of customers who've deployed automated microsegmentation?

Zero Networks enables organizations to dynamically microsegment 90%+ of their networks in 90 days. The result? A self-defending, resilient network where defenders act with confidence, auditors gain clear assurance, and business operations continue uninterrupted.

Traditional identity systems authenticate credentials and devices, but they can't verify who's actually behind them. Attackers use AI-generated IDs and deepfake videos to pass background checks, then clone voices to reset MFAs at the help desk. Identity has become the primary attack surface, and existing IAM platforms still trust the human layer far too easily.

In this episode, Fernanda Sottil, Senior Director of Strategy at Incode Technologies, explains how their solution adds a real-world identity layer that integrates seamlessly with existing IAM systems. Joining her are Nick Espinosa, host of the Deep Dive radio show and Bozidar Spirovski, CISO at Blue Dot.

• How does Incode comply with GDPR when training AI models on employee facial data?
• What happens when legitimate users get blocked, especially job candidates?
• How does Incode maintain accuracy across 4,600 document types in 200 countries?
• Can organizations see error rates and override the system when needed?
• How quickly can Incode patch new attack vectors as adversarial threats evolve?

Modern application security has become a tangled mess of VPNs, proxies, DLP, CASBs, and remote browser tools—all creating friction for users and security teams alike. The root issue? Browsers were built for consumers, not enterprise security, forcing organizations to pile on complexity that undermines both protection and performance.

In this episode, Braden Rogers, chief customer officer at Island, explains how their enterprise browser platform rethinks application delivery by building security services natively into the browsing experience. Joining him are Nick Ryan, former CISO, and Janet Heins, CISO at ChenMed.
