Interview: Zero Trust and How to Protect the Crown Jewels

Zero Trust: Do you build a higher fence or wider moat?

In this CyberSecurity TV episode, Glen Hernandez, Captain, U.S. Coast Guard (Retired), Former U.S. Coast Guard CISO Chair, AFCEA Zero Trust Strategies Subcommittee, and Brian Hajost, SteelCloud Founder and COO, discuss Zero Trust and how it differs from the traditional cybersecurity practices.

Zero Trust isn’t just an action or process, it’s a mindset; a mindset you need to permeate your entire organization, not just the technical parts. Therein lies the challenge.  as Glen says, “it is different mindset organizations need to embrace. It’s very different from the castle and moat analogy to protect your organization by digging a deeper moat or building higher a fence.” It is really about the organization’s purpose in trying to understand it’s about the organization’s purpose. What was the organization designed to do, and how are you going to protect the crown jewels of that organization in the data and transactions?”
