Identity-Centric Zero Trust: Building the Right Defenses
Course
Dr. Charru Malhotra, Kumar Ravi and Manish Aggarwal examine how to make identity the true cornerstone of zero trust, moving beyond rebranded perimeter security to a deployed, functioning architecture across hybrid environments.
The traditional network perimeter has dissolved. In the hybrid, multi-cloud reality of 2026, identity has become the new firewall, the new control plane, and unfortunately, the primary attack vector. For enterprises managing diverse workforces and exploding digital ecosystems, a network-centric approach is no longer sufficient. The path to true zero trust resilience now relies on verifying every user, device and service explicitly - shifting the mantra from "trust but verify" to "never trust, always verify."
Moving beyond the theoretical definitions of zero trust, the discussion will focus on the architectural pivots required to make identity the cornerstone of defense.
In this insightful session, the panel will discuss:
- Zero trust maturity: Where to start and how to scale?
- Integrating identity-centric zero trust with existing infrastructure;
- Organizational and cultural barriers to zero trust adoption.
