Beyond the Perimeter: Rebuilding Cybersecurity for a Cloud-First World with Darren Humphries, Group CISO & CTO Partner at Acora
Cybersecurity isn’t just about perimeter defenses — it’s about thinking holistically.
In this episode of CXO Secrets, David McClelland is joined by Darren Humphries, Group CISO & CTO Partner at Acora, and Arron Thundercliffe, Cyber Defense & Threat Intelligence at Google, to explore the evolution of cyber defence. They explain how the shift to cloud-native, AI-driven strategies, identity management, behavioural analytics, and DevSecOps is reshaping security, and why IT fragmentation can leave organisations exposed.
They also discuss lessons from malware in the 2000s, IoT vulnerabilities, and the rise of smart devices, revealing why today’s threat landscape demands an integrated, strategic approach to cybersecurity.
A must-listen for CISOs, CIOs, and senior technology leaders navigating modern cyber risk.
