Preventing cybersecurity stagnation through breach containment

Summary
Einstein’s quote about insanity serving as a reminder that cybersecurity efforts often fall short of expectations, with costs rising despite increased investments. Attackers exploit basic hygiene gaps like lateral movement in ransomware attacks and unpatched systems using common protocols such as RDP and SMB, making organizations vulnerable. Instead of striving for perfection, focusing on containment during breaches could limit damage, with tools like AI-driven security graphs aiding rapid detection and response. This shift toward resilience over perfection is crucial to addressing persistent cyber threats effectively.
