You're listening to the CyberWire X, a series of specials where we highlight important security

topics affecting organizations worldwide.

I'm Dave Bitner.

Today's episode is titled Zero-In on Zero Trust.

The Zero-Trust security model asserts that organizations should not trust anything within its perimeter

and instead must inspect all traffic and verify anything connecting to its systems before granting access.

While Zero Trust is generating a lot of buzz in the cyber world, it's often hard to determine

the implications of this security model. In this program we're going

to do our best to cut through the hype and discuss what you really need to know, to design, implement,

and monitor an effective Zero Trust approach.

A program note, each CyberWire X special features two segments.

In the first part of the show, we'll hear from industry experts on the topic at hand and in the second part we'll hear from

our show's sponsor for their point of view. And speaking of sponsors here's a word

from our sponsor, Extra Hop.
