The Future Quantum Security... Will You Be Ready?

In this episode, we discuss perhaps the most prevalent theme, meme, buzz phrase currently operating in the cyber world – that of the Zero Trust phenomenon and how it can be used to mitigate the potential nasty effects of that old nemesis of ours – the Zero Day attack. Zero Day is something that is still very much alive and kicking, and we believe, can be effectively countered using an approach that we first articulated at ONUG Spring 2023 in Dallas, continued within our ONUG.net Cloud Native Security series of blogs, and we are bringing forward again in this podcast. - Why Zero Day still matters - How do Zero Trust principles best position you to thwart Zero Day attacks? - Learn about playbooks
