Zero trust has become a popular slogan for security advocates, but its essence has been diluted by its association with specific solutions and technologies.

As zero trust architecture relies on identity as one of its foundational pillars, it is critical to ensure that the right people have the appropriate level of access to the necessary resources, on the right devices, and in the relevant context.

Moving beyond the hype and the criticism of repeated messages that lack a clear direction, the session will explore the practical and actionable steps for implementing zero trust and its value for the organization.

This session, led by Ganesh Narasimhadevara, principal solutions engineer at Okta, will cover:

• Implementing a comprehensive, identity-first security strategy to protect the organization that serves as the control plane;
• Adopting a zero trust network access seamlessly;
• Establishing the maturity of identity to enhance the security posture with zero trust.
