Zero Trust - It's Way Easier Than You Think with John Kindervag

Zero Trust is NOT complicated!

Don't believe me? Let me introduce you to its creator!

In this episode, Jacob speaks with John Kindervag, the creator of Zero Trust.

John is the Chief Evangelist at Illumio where he accelerates awareness and adoption of Zero Trust Segmentation.

In the episode he shares the origin story of Zero Trust starting with his time at Forrester Research. He explains the fundamental principles of Zero Trust, debunks common misconceptions, and how you can implement Zero Trust using a 5-step model.

Here are a few highlights from this episode:

  • The broken trust model that has allowed the largest data breaches
  • Defining Zero Trust and misconceptions about it
  • How to implement zero trust in 5 steps
  • "Things Run Amok" poem - if Dr. Seuss wrote about the Internet of Things

John's elevator pitch for Zero Trust is a masterclass in itself.

If you want to convince business leaders to invest in cybersecurity, you have to focus on how that investment will benefit the business. John does exactly that here and we should all take note.

Illumio is a Zero Trust Segmentation company that prevents breaches and ransomware from spreading across hybrid environments. Their platform visualizes traffic flows, automatically sets granular segmentation policies, and isolates critical assets and compromised systems. Founded in 2013, Illumio protects organizations of all sizes, from Fortune 100 to small businesses.
