Zero Trust approaches to security are at the core of key strategic IT initiatives, including cloud and digital transformation. Underlying Zero Trust assumptions rely on a "trust no one, verify everyone" approach, whereby the network, devices, and identities—whether internal or external—should always be assumed to be at risk. A key tenet in this approach is that every device, user, and network flow is authenticated and authorized.

Join us in this session to hear how cloud-based access management and authentication are foundational in enabling the Zero Trust approach security frameworks and how they can contribute to the success of key IT initiatives in your organization.
