Welcome to the Data Security Decoded podcast by Rubrik Zero Labs. In this episode, our host Caleb Tolin speaks with Joe Hladik, a veteran security expert with two decades of experience, to explore the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, incident response, and the critical challenges of data security in today's distributed environments.
What You'll Learn:
How the cybersecurity landscape has evolved from traditional nation-state threats to modern ransomware operations
Why data sprawl creates complex security challenges as sensitive information moves across platforms and users

How identity management has become more complex than just "the new perimeter" in cloud environments
Why data security posture management is crucial for protecting sensitive information across distributed systems
The ways modern threat actors combine financial and political motivations in sophisticated attack campaigns
