About This Podcast
Zero Trust Journey isn’t about taking sides—it’s about real conversations, sharing research, and learning together. Our goal is to explore Zero Trust from every angle and help cybersecurity practitioners make sense of it in a practical, no-fluff way. And yes, we do love to chat about coffee and listen to the occasional dad joke along the way.
Here’s what we do:
- Conversations with Experts: We chat with subject matter experts who share their opinions, experiences, and Zero Trust journeys.
- Research and Product Insights: We explore Zero Trust products and solutions in the market that may fit into a Zero Trust architecture.
- A Zero Trust Architecture: We’re building and refining an ever-growing architecture focused solely on the needs of cybersecurity practitioners.
- CSA CCZT Study Group: We host a study group for the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Certificate of Competence in Zero Trust (CCZT).
If you’re a cybersecurity professional looking for honest discussions, practical insights, and tools that evolve with your Zero Trust strategy (plus the occasional coffee tip), Zero Trust Journey is for you. Join us!
