Adam Philpott – Zero Trust and ZTNA in a Post-Pandemic World

TechSpective Podcast Episode 068

Adam Philpott, Senior VP, EMEA for McAfee, is my guest for this episode of the TechSpective Podcast. With decades of experience in networking and cybersecurity, Adam brings tremendous insight to the table when it comes to zero trust and ZTNA (zero trust network access).

Zero trust is pretty mainstream at this point–an evolution or extension of the concept of least privileged access, but taking things to another level for improved security against today’s advanced threats. As businesses around the world have embraced remote work and adopted a completely–or nearly completely–work-from-home workforce, the need for zero trust is greater than ever. The potential attack surface is massive when the internet is the company’s network and every device and user is its own “perimeter”.

Check out the full episode for more insights from Adam on cybersecurity in the post-COVID 19 pandemic era, and the role of zero trust and ZTNA in protecting applications and data.

The podcast itself is audio only, but the video of our conversation is also available on YouTube if you prefer:
