The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of remote work models, pushing organizations to adopt new security measures. The concept of Zero Trust has gained significant attention as companies look to secure their workforce and sensitive data in a more decentralized environment. This shift is driven by the need for granular access control, as traditional perimeter-based security models proved insufficient. Companies are embracing security as a shared responsibility, with products needing to enable other parts of the business to participate in access controls. Modern security products must be usable, prioritizing end-user experience, buy-in, adoption, and time-to-value. Effective leaders will excel at communicating with other departments, fostering education around security best practices and reinforcing the need for secure operations. Ultimately, managing access is key to cybersecurity, ensuring that the right people have access to the right things while preventing unauthorized access.
