Map your next moves with executive insights from Zenith Live 2024
Kyle Fiehler, Senior Transformation Analyst, Zscaler
It's understandable for today's IT and security leaders to feel like they're operating in uncharted territory. With mobile-first workplaces, cloud centrality, AI-enabled attacks, and cybercriminal groups more well-funded than some nation states, it feels like once-in-a-generation shifts are arriving every few years.
In the face of such unprecedented flux CXOs rely on each other as resources, sounding boards, and advisors. Enabling this fact is our top goal at the dedicated
CXO Experience at Zenith Live, the company's flagship user conference.
Part classroom, part executive retreat, attendees will hear from leaders about technical topics like microsegmentation and zero trust SD-WAN, as well as business-critical challenges like compliance and holistic risk management. As always, you'll also have the chance to build your community of trusted peer advisors in relaxed environments conducive to information sharing.
No one is sure what the future will bring, but innovative approaches to today’s toughest challenges can help us be more resilient against whatever comes our way. So join fellow executives for our carefully curated CXO experience, put your questions to Zscaler leadership, share your own insights with peers and help chart the
terra incognita that is tomorrow’s IT and security landscape.

From the Office of the CTO:
Ignoring the Change Healthcare attack invites a cycle of disaster
Tamer Baker, Public Sector Field CTO for Healthcare, Zscaler
As you may recall, in February, Change Healthcare announced that threat actors affiliated with BlackCat/ALPHV had breached their organization. The adversaries executed a ransomware attack affecting critical operations in its care authorization and billing portals. Change has not released details on how the threat actors compromised their organization. However, it is not unusual for attackers to breach medical organizations through phishing emails or VPN vulnerabilities. Third-party vendors and supply chain attacks may also offer adversaries easy opportunities to infiltrate healthcare facilities.
To make matters worse, security analysts believe Change Healthcare tried to resolve the problem by paying the attackers $22 million in ransom. This alleged payment, which should have resolved the issue, instead brought more chaos.
Examine why.

Despite repeated predictions of cyber-fueled chaos at the Olympic and Paralympic Games since at least 2004, to date, no Olympics has ever been significantly disrupted.

Let's face it, CISOs face a constant dance with the shadows. They fight invisible enemies, anticipate the next attack, and strive to stay one step ahead of ever-evolving threats. That's where threat intelligence comes in – it's the intel that fuels our defenses, and the night-vision goggles to see the dark and precarious battlefield clearly (or at the least a little better).
