FREE WORKSHOP
Designed to teach what Zero Trust means, how vendors approach it, and how to start building a strategy for your organization.
Learn the Essentials of Zero Trust and Identity
One of the most common topics we we encounter as a cybersecurity consulting firm is Zero Trust. Organizations want to first fully understand it, and then adopt a process to apply it to their unique needs.
This free workshop is designed to help you understand how to determine what Zero Trust really means and the best practical approaches to develop an IAM + ZT strategy. From its history and evolution to building blocks and architecture.
