"Zero trust is not aligned to the agility and the ability to collaborate" that businesses want today, he says. "It's a dated artifact of the past."

In a video interview with Information Security Media Group, Thornton-Trump discusses:

  • Alternatives to the model;
  • Why zero trust architecture is an out-of-date concept.
