What is Into the Breach?
Into the Breach is a new cybersecurity docuseries from OPSWAT, hosted by Kari Byron (best known from MythBusters). The series is designed to make complex cybersecurity concepts accessible through real-world stories, hands-on experiments, expert interviews, and cinematic demonstrations.
Traditional Firewalls are not Enough
Firewalls were built for a different era—one where threats were simpler and networks were clearly defined. Today’s attackers move faster, exploit deeper vulnerabilities, and routinely find ways around perimeter defenses.
You’re not as Secure as you Think
Even the strongest firewall can be undermined by a single misconfiguration or an unpatched exploit. In modern breaches, it’s often not brute force—it’s a tiny oversight that opens the door.
Data Diodes Can’t be Hacked
Unlike software-based defenses, data diodes enforce security in hardware—allowing data to move in only one direction, physically eliminating the pathway attackers rely on. No return path. No remote access. No way in.
