\u201cCybersecurity is foundationally, fundamentally, and systemically broken.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was how Andrew Rubin, founder and CEO of Illumio, opened a standing-room-only panel featuring an impressive line-up of security leaders at RSAC 2026. While the discussion took place in Silicon Valley, the implications discussed extend far beyond the United States<\/p>\n

For organisations across Asia-Pacific, the diagnosis will feel familiar. The region is now among the most targeted in the world. Critical infrastructure, financial services, and government agencies from Singapore to Sydney are contending with breaches that move faster, cost more, and prove harder to contain with every passing year.<\/p>\n

The panel, \u201cHard Truths in Cybersecurity: Fear, Liability, and the Industry\u2019s Biggest Lies,\u201d brought together Theresa Payton, former White House CIO; Sherrod DeGrippo, Microsoft\u2019s head of threat intelligence; Tim Brown, CISO of SolarWinds; and David Boda, Chief Security Officer of Nationwide Building Society. Rubin chaired a conversation that pulled few punches.<\/p>\n

Across the region, security budgets have grown consistently. Teams are larger, tooling is more sophisticated, and vendor categories have multiplied to address increasingly specific threats. On paper, the industry has been doing its job.<\/p>\n

The data tells a different story. Breaches are not slowing. They are spreading further, hitting harder, and exposing assumptions about secure environments that were never tested until it was too late. According to IBM\u2019s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach now costs ASEAN organisations US$3.67 million, with detection and containment times remaining stubbornly high.<\/p>\n

The pace of change is staggering. Just a few months ago at RSAC, systems like Mythos were not part of the conversation. Today, AI capabilities are advancing so quickly that organisations are struggling to keep pace, further raising the stakes for security teams.<\/p>\n
