Defianx Research Cluster
Zero Trust
Executive research on identity, access control, privileged access, segmentation, device trust, and measurable Zero Trust progress.
Executive Point of View
Zero Trust works best when it is managed as a practical operating model, not a slogan.
Leaders need measurable progress across identity, least privilege, device trust, segmentation, privileged access, and access review.
The goal is to reduce unnecessary access while keeping the organization able to operate.
