ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Microsegmentation. Poland's cyberwar. AI-powered attackers. The blast radius that decides your cyber insurance premium.
Piotr Kupisiewicz, CTO of Elisity, joins Cyber Insurance News & Information to talk microsegmentation, but the conversation keeps returning to Poland: 270,000 cyberattacks in the past year, a civilian defense corps called Cyber Legion, and why hybrid warfare doesn't respect oceans.
Along the way: what actually counts as critical infrastructure now, why segmentation works for mid-market companies too, how AI is lowering the bar for attackers on both sides, and the one question every board should ask its CISO about worst-case scenarios.
