The Five Nine: Zeroing in on zero trust and the cloud security landscape

This week, we’re venturing into the thorny territory that is cloud security. 

In a newly issued security report, Google Cloud noted that new tools are lowering barriers to entry for malicious actors, and will make it easier for them to launch attacks in the year ahead. The report also noted that something as seemingly small as a compromised identity can have an outsized impact on an enterprise given the widespread use of integrated hybrid on-prem and cloud environments. 

But what are enterprises even responsible for when it comes to cloud security? In the multi-cloud universe, is achieving zero trust access even possible? And is AI about to upend everything entirely?

We went in search of answers to these questions and ended up on the horn with Andrew Gault, CEO of virtual networking company ZeroTier. We talked through what’s most important when it comes to enterprise cloud security, the ways in which the security landscape is changing and how AI could change the game entirely.
