"The Application-First Path to Zero Trust" is outlining an approach to Zero Trust centered on the application. This session provides a clear, practical blueprint for what Zero Trust means when you architect the solution starting from the application layer. We will explore how to protect critical assets by implementing identity-centric, application-level access controls, with least-privilege principles. Learn how to ensure secure, efficient access for any user to any application, regardless of its hosting environment, minimizing potential security risks and eliminating reliance on legacy perimeter controls like VPNs.
