Highlights
00:32 — CEOs and other business leaders need to know about zero trust. Zero trust is a security model that assumes all internal and external network traffic should not be trusted.
01:11 —The traditional security model, which was based on a perimeter defense approach, is really no longer effective. Zero trust shifts the focus from securing the perimeter to securing the data and resources themselves.
01:46 — CEOs should know that zero trust is not a one-time project, but an on-going process. It requires constant monitoring and analysis of network traffic, user behavior, and application usage patterns. This means that organizations need to invest in the right tools and resources.
02:12 — Another thing you need to understand is that zero trust requires a cultural shift within the organization. It requires a change in mindset.
02:39 — Lastly, the CEO should know that zero trust is not a silver bullet. It is just one tool that organizations need to use to ensure that they are protected against cyber attacks.
03:14 — By adopting a zero-trust approach, organizations can ensure they are able to protect data and resources against cyber threats and maintain their reputation and financial stability.
