- "This philosophy is very different from traditional thinking, which is if we build a wall big enough, we can keep all the bad guys out. Well, eventually the bad guys will master flight and make it over our walls. And then what? That's where Zero Trust philosophy says, protect the inside just like we do outside the walls." - Jeff Mims
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity approach that looks at security not just from the lens of keeping people out, but also at how we can protect all spaces when hackers do get in. It's not necessarily a new mindset, but it's been seeing a lot of traction since President Biden signed an executive order in 2021 making adoption mandatory for federal organizations. Jeff Mims is a Leidos Chief Technologist. He spends most of his time in the Zero Trust world and he joins the show to explain more about what it is, how it works and why it's so important.
