How to Begin a Practical Zero Trust Strategy

Time: 1:51 p.m. - 2:38 p.m.

Abstract: 

Legacy network security models that assume a rigid perimeter and implicitly trust everything inside are vulnerable to attack. Zero trust principles can mitigate such vulnerability but they’re only a starting point. Ultimately some trust must be extended or nothing happens. Context-aware continuous adaptive trust offers more flexibility than simple binary allow-or-block decisions. Context can change, so it should be continuously evaluated, which might require adapting the level of trust. By balancing trust against risk, you can strike the right balance between staying secure and getting work done.
