About the Session
Zero Trust is an architectural shift that addresses some of the most pressing security challenges that organizations face in a globally distributed and remote-first world. Built on the principles of least-privileged access that ‘assumes breach’ by default, the Zero Trust model requires a fundamentally different approach to cyber defense and threat detection.
Deception, which also operates on the assume breach approach, is a natural choice for this model. Join Sahir Hidayatullah, VP of Active Defense, Zscaler as he shares how organizations are combining Zero Trust with Deception to build proactive defenses that detect compromised users, de-risk their internal attack surface, stop lateral movement, and detect sophisticated, human-operated attacks that bypass traditional defenses.
