Zero Trust is a Philosophy and Journey that Never Ends

At Zero Trust World in Orlando, I talked with Howard Holton, CTO of GigaOm, about the philosophy behind zero trust and how it’s evolving in real-world environments.

Howard explained that while the core principle—“trust nothing”—hasn’t changed, the way organizations implement it has matured. Instead of enabling everything by default, smart security teams now pause, observe, and selectively allow only what the business truly needs. It’s not about blocking, it’s about learning, adapting, and staying in control.
