Session Abstract:
NIST’s Zero Trust Architecture is the bold and unapologetic approach to establishing trust in complex systems and systems of systems. By adopting the principles of ZTA, organizations can strengthen their security posture and take control of the ever-evolving digital landscape. Furthermore, it gives companies a framework that can be adapted to future threats–even ones that haven’t envisioned yet. As cyber threats continue to escalate in sophistication and frequency, implementing ZTA is quickly becoming an undeniable necessity for survival in the wild digital jungle.
This talk will cover:
- Traditional security models – perimeter defenses and air gaps and why they are falling short
- Principles of Zero Trust
- Benefits of a Zero Trust Architecture
