Practical steps on your zero trust journey. A CyberWire Pro Briefing by Rick Howard.
Date: May 18, 2020 | 2 - 3pm | Location: Virtual
Overview
The Zero Trust strategy assumes that your network is already compromised and compels you to design it to reduce the probability of material impact to your organization if you experience either a trusted insider attack or an invading outsider who has bypassed your security controls to attain the same status. In other words, trust nobody and only allow employees enough access to the organization's resources to get their jobs done, but nothing further. You may think that designing and building that type of network is 180 degrees away from what you have right now. You would be wrong. You can get a long way down the Zero Trust path by using the equipment you already own in your current architecture. The thing that has to change is people and process. This CyberWire Pro online briefing will discuss what Zero Trust is, how to think about it in terms of your own environments, and the practical steps you can take right now with equipment you already have that will move you along that journey. This will be a vendor-neutral briefing by the CyberWire's CSO and Chief Analyst, Rick Howard, which will also provide some history and context for those looking to implement Zero Trust solutions.
We look forward to seeing you online!
