The Nature of Zero Trust Culture

The atmosphere at the Zero Trust World event is surprisingly pleasant, despite its name suggesting a more guarded environment. Attendees noted how kind and approachable everyone was, which is often contrary to the assumed demeanor of professionals discussing security. The culture fostered by sponsors like ThreatLocker has contributed to a welcoming atmosphere, allowing for more open dialogue and networking among participants. This environment seems to reflect a shift in the cybersecurity community towards collaboration rather than an overly defensive mentality.
