Security breaches in organisations are on the rise, and the amount of data being exposed is terrifying.

The Danish government's tax portal exposed the records of 1.26 million citizens, an easyjet

In today's episode, we size up zero trust networking architecture, every network security expert's favorite topic, and the bane of some organisation's existence. We talk about why

a little paranoia is better for everyone.

What happens when the compromise is in the hardware itself?

And how you can implement zero trust without locking the CEO out of their emails.

All that and much more.

taught us anything, it's that nobody is safe. To hear why, I called up Josephine Wolf. I'm Josephine Wolf. I'm an assistant
