Cyber security professionals face the daunting task of securing a borderless perimeter against both external attacks and malicious insiders. In response to this new threat environment, the Zero Trust security framework has emerged to fill the void created by the disintegration of moat and castle architectures. In this webinar, Dr. Cunningham and Craig Cooper will discuss the role of monitoring behaviors, by both users and entities, in assessing risk which is central to the Zero Trust security model. They will present best practices illustrated with real-world use cases on how security analytics can be used to automate policy enforcement and controls to implement a Zero Trust architecture. Attendees will learn how to develop a blueprint for implementing Zero Trust security in their organization.
