Why Zero Trust is More Relevant Than Ever

 Why Zero Trust is More Relevant Than Ever

"Trust is a vulnerability." John Kindervag, the man who created Zero Trust, explains why the model he built nearly 20 years ago is more relevant now than when he invented it.

Kindervag walks through where Zero Trust actually came from, why AI-driven attacks have made segmentation non-negotiable, and the two misconceptions still holding companies back.

He also breaks down his five-step model for implementing Zero Trust:

-Define your protect surface

-Map your transaction flows

-Architect the network

-Deploy policy

-Monitor and maintain

Now Chief Evangelist at Illumio, Kindervag is still the clearest voice on what Zero Trust actually is, and most importantly what it isn't.
