Are You Overestimating Your Cybersecurity Defences?

Episode Summary

In this episode, cybersecurity experts Ivo Wiens and Ben Boi-Doku unpack findings from CDW’s Canadian Cybersecurity Study that point to a disconnect between leadership confidence and actual cybersecurity capabilities. Based on research conducted with IDC, the discussion explores why many organizations are layering advanced security tools on top of fragile foundations, leaving critical gaps in identity, third-party security and insider threat protection. Learn how overconfidence can undermine zero trust initiatives, complicate AI governance and increase ransomware risk through supplier and identity-based attack paths.
