Cyberattacks driven by geopolitical tensions have evolved beyond traditional ransomware schemes, focusing instead on disrupting operations through destructive malware. For Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), conventional perimeter defenses no longer suffice. Success now hinges on swiftly containing breaches and restricting lateral movement within networks to limit the impact of wiper attacks. To safeguard their organizations, CISOs must anticipate increasingly sophisticated threats and prioritize internal network resilience. This shift is vital as the stakes intensify amid an era of relentless, geopolitically motivated cyber warfare.
