Cloud Native Security Working Group Update: A Practitioner’s Guide to Zero Trust Security

Fall 2023

The Cloud Native Security Working Group has developed a practical handbook for “Building a Zero Trust Security Practice”, which takes practitioners from essential principles such as “Never Trust, Always Verify”, “Assume Breach”, and “Least Privilege” to a set of concrete operational practices that bring these notions to life. Validated by first-hand experience at a global Fortune 100 company, these practices are attainable – and necessary – to safeguard critical enterprise assets in a world where cyber criminals loom as an ever-present threat. Attend this session to understand what it takes to build Zero Trust security into the heart of your enterprise across all IT domains.
