We need a new security model that more effectively adapts to the complexity of the modern environment, embraces the hybrid workplace, and protects people, devices, apps, and data wherever they’re located. In other words, we need to modernize our approach to cybersecurity. Zero Trust as “a cybersecurity strategy premised on the idea that no user or asset is to be implicitly trusted. It assumes that a breach has already occurred or will occur, and therefore, a user should not be granted access to sensitive information by a single verification done at the enterprise perimeter. Instead, each user, device, application, and transaction must be continually verified.”
This session is designed to equip you with the knowledge and actionable steps needed to kick-start your Zero Trust cybersecurity strategy and implementation. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining your existing security approach, this session will guide you through the essential elements of developing a robust Zero Trust strategy and creating a roadmap for success.

This workshop topic is extremely timely—Zero Trust is becoming a critical approach as traditional perimeter-based security models struggle to keep up with modern threats. The idea of “never implicitly trusting” any user or device really hits home, especially when we see real-world breaches like the recent WestJet data breach incident, where sensitive customer data was exposed despite existing security measures.
It underscores why implementing continuous verification and a robust Zero Trust framework is not just best practice—it’s essential for protecting data, minimizing reputational risk, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Excited to see the actionable steps shared in this session!
