If They Were Already Inside Your Gates…
What happens when attackers are already inside your network and no alarms go off? This edition of The Modern Security Mindset examines the lessons of the Volt Typhoon campaign and explains why traditional security tools alone are not enough. Learn how a true Zero Trust architecture helps prevent lateral movement, validates security through objective measurement, and prepares organizations to defend against today’s most sophisticated threats.
The Zero Trust Blind Spot
Zero Trust is a journey, but without a clear baseline, it’s impossible to know how far you’ve come or what still needs attention. In this edition of The Modern Security Mindset, discover why measurement is the foundation of every successful Zero Trust strategy and how organizations can use objective assessments to identify gaps, prioritize investments, and validate progress with confidence.
Beyond the Checklist: Rebuilding Compliance Around Real Security Outcomes
Is your organization truly secure or simply compliant? In this edition of The Modern Security Mindset, we explore why checking the right boxes isn’t enough to defend against today’s cyber threats. Learn how outcome-based assessments move beyond self-attested compliance to measure real-world security effectiveness, helping organizations validate that their Zero Trust architecture performs as intended when it matters most.
