Highlights:
--| Why the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mindset is the biggest barrier to Zero Trust adoption.
--| Inside baseball from the NIST NCCoE project: how competitors like Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, and Zscaler collaborated to build a real-world Zero Trust architecture.
--| The "crawl, walk, run" method: implementing Zero Trust incrementally without disrupting business operations.
--| Beyond the user: why identity is crucial for visibility but isn't the only place to start your journey.
--| The biggest trap organizations fall into: creating fragmented "Zero Trust silos" that don't integrate.
--| Bringing a knife to a gunfight: How AI is becoming non-negotiable for defending against AI-powered attacks.

An essential guide for any leader feeling overwhelmed by Zero Trust, this episode offers a practical roadmap for moving from planning and theory to a mature, measurable program.
