Well you have all heard the buzz, it's being going on for years, so what it is really? Is it real? Can it work? According to many vendors, they have the solution for you, just follow their instructions and all will be okay? Really? Currently CEO's are caught in the "digital transformation" or flight to the cloud mass, because they have to save costs, and stay competitive with others. Is it the right time to even consider Zero Trust Architecture let alone Zero Trust Security?

Is it just a philosophical journey, a heap of vapourware and half promises? Why on earth should you and your organisation even consider, even review the way traditional security is working or not working within your respected organisations? Can you fail changing to Zero Trust Security or related Zero Trust Architecture? How long will it take? What are the benefits? Why should any organisation even consider taking on such a project?
