Zero Trust Is Not a SKU – Saša Zdjelar – BSW #272
Zero Trust is the security buzzword of the moment, and while it is a very powerful approach, nearly every enterprise security product on the market – and some that aren’t even security products — are saying they enable Zero Trust. The problem is this: you can’t buy zero trust. It’s an approach, an architecture, and a journey, not software, hardware, or a service to deploy.
Zero Trust also provides a rare opportunity in security - to reduce cost, improve security AND enhance end-user and customer experience.
