Zscaler's Ripple Effect Report Reveals The Cyber Resilience Gap

Episode notes

Are organizations investing enough in cybersecurity, or are they simply spending more money while falling further behind? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Martyn Ditchburn, CTO in Residence for EMEA at Zscaler, about the findings from the company's latest Ripple Effect Report and what it reveals about the growing gap between cybersecurity investment and true organizational resilience. Drawing on insights from more than 1,700 IT leaders across 14 countries, Martyn explains why many organizations are still struggling to adapt to a threat landscape that is evolving faster than their security strategies. While cyber resilience budgets continue to rise, many leaders admit their approach remains too inward-looking, leaving critical vulnerabilities across supply chains, cloud environments, third-party ecosystems, and emerging AI deployments. We explore why shadow AI is rapidly becoming the new shadow IT challenge, with employees adopting AI-powered tools faster than governance frameworks can keep pace.
