Zero Trust with Zero Nonsense

Zero Trust with Zero Nonsense

Author: Canadian Government Executive November 15, 2021 Duration: 16:03

Digital transformation is accelerating with key shifts such as the expanding Hybrid Workforce and the continued migration of applications and data to the cloud. As we make this transformation, Information Security teams have the opportunity to adopt a modern Zero Trust approach that fits these significant shifts. This means taking Zero Trust principles, making them actionable across users, applications and infrastructure, and effectively rebuilding security to keep pace with these tectonic shifts.

Joining us today to talk more about Zero Trust is Paul Kaspian, Principal Product Marketing Manager at Palo Alto Networks. Paul specializes in Zero Trust and is knowledgeable about this modern security methodology, which can help organizations secure their digital transformation. Paul brings close to 20 years of experience in product management and product marketing where prior to joining Palo Alto Networks, he held strategic positions at Aruba Networks, IBM Security, Watchfire, and Checkpoint Software Technologies.

Since joining Palo Alto Networks, Paul has worked extensively with customers, sales teams and internal research and development teams to educate the market on the latest emerging threats, their potential impact to organizations, and ways of significantly reducing risk through a Zero Trust approach to security.
