Traditional detection-based defense isn’t enough. As enterprises spread across SaaS, cloud, and operational environments, attackers are exploiting speed, automation, and trusted systems to bypass alerts entirely. Supply chain abuse, fileless techniques, and memory-based attacks now unfold faster than response teams can react—leaving traditional detection-based defense one step behind.

In this episode, VJ Viswanathan, a technology and cybersecurity executive, explores the shift required to secure the modern digital estate. He’ll break down why organizations must move beyond reactive detection toward a model of provident defense, how digital provenance provides the visibility needed to understand asset and supply chain risk, and why intent-aware security is essential as autonomous and agentic systems blur the lines between human and synthetic actors.

You will learn:

•  Why detection-based security fails against modern, AI-powered attacks
•  How visibility across cloud, SaaS, and automation environments changes risk
•  A smarter approach to security that validates intent—not just identity
