Detection Is Not Enough | Cybersecurity Upside Down

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]This book is all about rethinking your cyber security strategy and think about cyber security prevention through file regeneration.

[00:00:19]Talk about the meaning behind the title.

[00:00:24]The entire cyber security industry is all about detection and after the detection then there's going to be a reaction. detection is also prone for failure from the get- go. So, we need to take the entire model upside down and start with prevention. We want to reverse the model. Assume everything is malicious. Assume the file is malicious.

[00:00:44]You're going to create a new file that will have all of the DNA, all the characteristics of the original file.

[00:00:49]It's not going to rely on detection at all. You're removing detection from the algorithm altogether to a point it's a prevention mindset. Antiviruses are not effective predicting whether a file is malicious or not. However, while we combine all the antiviruses together, we achieve also only like 99.94 99.92 whenever you need to go and transfer a billion files a million files. Is that good enough?

[00:01:14]In the following chapters, I'll present the CDR approach for sanitizing files and introduce a broader CDR mindset.
