Two Holy Grails and a unicorn - Building a predictable security budget using the Zero Trust Framewor
Predictable security spend – and predictable security outcomes – two seemingly unachievable holy grails that combine into an unachievable unicorn?
Security without strategy can be a black hole of security spend. By keeping up with the Jones’s, i.e. doing what other people are doing, can be a common approach to modern security. However, business strategy and security strategy can align to create a risk based financially defensible security posture.
In this assisted unicorn birthing session, Microsoft Zero Trust Adoption Framework co-author Nicolas Blank presents on how to build Zero Trust economic models in the context of the business that you are defending with the tools you already own.
