PodChats for FutureCISO: What we need to know about Zero Trust Segmentation

Zero trust adoption in Asia has been gaining momentum, albeit with varying levels of progress across the region. While 76% of global organisations have begun implementing zero trust strategies, with 35% claiming full implementation, the Asia Pacific region shows a disparity in adoption rates. Organisations are motivated to adopt zero trust primarily to improve overall security, enhance user experience, and foster cooperation among security teams. Zero trust segmentation emerges as a viable option for enhancing cybersecurity postures, as it addresses the challenges posed by dissolving network perimeters and the increasing complexity of IT environments. As Asian companies continue to grapple with cybersecurity challenges in 2024, zero trust segmentation offers a promising approach to fortify their defences against evolving threats.John Kindervag, chief evangelist at Illumio and creator of the zero trust security model, joins FutureCISO to share his views on the following:You are credited with creating the concept “zero trust”.
