May 2021 Webinar 2: A Practical Approach to Zero Trust in the Enterprise

Zero Trust is all the rage today. Just this past week, the US Federal CISO, Chris DeRusha, highlighted the need for zero trust and described its essential components - https://www.nextgov.com/cybersecurity/2021/04/how-federal-ciso-views-zero-trust/173553/.

But, what exactly is Zero Trust? And what implications does it have for your organization?

In this talk, we’ll discuss the core principles behind the Zero Trust security philosophy, while also reminding the audience that this is not a new idea that came up this year – Zero Trust is a concept whose roots stretch back several decades! We’ll dive into how enterprises are implementing Zero Trust architectures today, and detail a practical approach for bringing Zero Trust to your organization.
