"Zero trust has a strategy in it. The idea now is to look at the technology platform from a strategic lens. The concept is all about a grand strategy, which had not existed before," Kindervag says.

"Zero trust is designed to be strategically resonant to the highest levels of your organization and yet be tactically implementable using commercially available technology," he adds.

In this video interview, Kindervag also discusses:

  • What organizations lack when it comes to the understanding of the zero trust concept;
  • How to balance user experience and security;
  • How will the zero trust concept evolve in the future.

Prior to joining ON2IT Cybersecurity, Kindervag was field CTO at Palo Alto Networks. Earlier, while working at Forrester Research, where he was a vice president and principal analyst on the security and risk team, he created the Zero Trust model. He also previously served as a security consultant, penetration tester and security architect.
