Contrary to its moniker, “Zero Trust” is about a new architecture that can provide your organization far greater trust overall.  Moving from unwieldly large enterprise attack surfaces to smaller nimble protect surfaces is a fundamental component of zero trust.  As the Chief Trust Officer for Unisys, Tom Patterson is a strong advocate for organizations adopting a Zero Trust posture, as the benefits to all stakeholders are significant.  Tom will cover the basic principles of this new approach, examples of adoption, and the long term enterprise benefits in terms of risk, costs, and labor.
