🌐 Cyber Insights Abhishek Agrawal, Co-Founder & CEO at Material Security discussed how government agencies are focusing on resilience, especially through the lens of Zero Trust. It's clear that Zero Trust isn't just a product but a framework for enhancing security. Agencies are increasingly adopting this mindset to improve resilience, especially in areas like email security and cloud environments. The goal is to ensure that even if an attacker breaches initial defenses, additional layers of protection are in place.
