Episode 343 Deep Dive: Rajesh Khazanchi | Breach Ready is More Than Just A Mindset
byKBI.Media

In this episode, we sit down with Rajesh Khazanchi, CEO and co-founder of ColorTokens, as he explores what it truly means to be “breach ready” in today’s cybersecurity landscape. Rajesh emphasises the shift from perimeter-based defences to a proactive containment strategy, highlighting the importance of assuming breaches are inevitable and minimising damage through micro segmentation and Zero Trust principles. He discusses how evolving business pressures and sophisticated AI-driven attacks are raising expectations for swift decision-making and rapid recovery from disruptions. The conversation covers practical approaches for bridging knowledge gaps, the role of continuous compliance and visibility, and how organisations can leverage existing EDR technologies to achieve stronger resilience without increasing tool sprawl. Rajesh also shares insights on building customer trust through quicker recovery times, the impact of business continuity on competitive advantage, and the importance of design thinking for both organisational and personal cyber safety.
