Highlights:
–| The Two Axes of Zero Trust: How every successful strategy boils down to managing Identity (likelihood) and Segmentation (impact).
–| Why the ”whack-a-mole” approach of chasing use cases instead of building a strategy is destined to fail.
–| The Ransomware Effect: How the ”stuff that was too hard” suddenly becomes the top priority after a major breach.
–| Why compliance is just ”table stakes”—the bare minimum—and is not the same as being secure.
–| A clear first step for any organization: Why mastering access control for your most valuable assets is where the journey must begin.
–| Beyond defense to true resilience: Shifting the mindset from just preventing breaches to ensuring the business remains viable amidst adversity.
This episode is an essential listen for any leader tired of the fluff. It provides a clear, actionable framework for building a Zero Trust program that delivers measurable resilience and business value.
