Add bookmark
In 2021 Top Zero Trust Action Points, we discuss what to do now to progress on the Zero Trust journey. With now 20% of the community now having taken at least one step on that Zero Trust journey, a new and better defensive cyber security mindset has been established at the front end of global corporate enterprise. Simultaneously, leading executives and organizations have been adopting a posture-forward cyber security stance by focusing more on detection through initiatives such as threat hunting.
With a Zero Trust baseline and a threat hunting frontline, cyber security mindsets now need to take the next step in thinking like a 2021 attacker. Threats now breach and move laterally through software updates while the cyber security infrastructure perimeter continues to exponentially expand with new cloud-based tools to serve a distributed workforce. Cody Pierce details his thoughts on the attacker mindset.
With more than 140,000 members, Cyber Security Hub is the vibrant community connecting cyber security professionals around the world.
