en.Wedoany.com Reported - James Karimi, Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer of GTT Communications, elaborated on the company's "containment-first" security strategy in the face of emerging cyberattack threats during an interview. The core of this strategy is to eliminate attackers' lateral movement capabilities, minimizing the impact of intrusions.

Karimi pointed out that the fastest attackers no longer employ traditional "hacker-style" intrusions; instead, they infiltrate systems, blend in with normal behavior, and move at machine speed. This reality forces a redesign of security architectures, as traditional perimeter defenses can no longer fully protect system security. GTT's response is to achieve network "de-flattening" through clear network rules and firewall contexts, effectively blocking attackers' lateral movement. Karimi also emphasized that the human risk layer remains important, and security awareness training cannot be overlooked.

On the technical front, GTT highlighted its Envision platform, which enhances network resilience and agility through software-based edge service chaining and provides managed security services. In terms of artificial intelligence governance and operations, GTT has partnered with Dell and NVIDIA to build AI factories and designed secure AI operators that are isolated by default. Karimi believes that data logging is a critical step for the success or failure of enterprise AI. Additionally, GTT discussed behavior-based detection and response, CVE analysis with mitigation guidelines, real-time topology for threat hunting, and autonomous mitigation application scenarios within customer tolerance ranges.
