In this episode of Cisco Champion Radio, we dive into the ever-evolving security landscape, with a focus on the rise of identity-based attacks, third-party risk, and the challenges of integrating security tools in modern operations.

Join security experts and Champions as they unpack how cybercriminals are bypassing traditional defenses—exploiting user fatigue with MFA, launching advanced phishing campaigns, and targeting third-party vulnerabilities. The discussion also highlights why security teams must go beyond metrics to focus on real threats, and how collaboration with business units can enhance security outcomes.

Whether you're in SecOps, vulnerability management, or vendor risk assessment, this conversation offers practical insights into building a more resilient and integrated security ecosystem.
