Election Recap & Cybersecurity Lessons Learned

On the eve of Halloween, I’m interviewing Juanita Koilpillai to understand if SDP (software defined perimeter) is all it promises to be or just more marketing hype. Juanita is the CEO of Waverley Labs and brings a unique perspective – she’s actually implementing SDP for several federal agencies.
In a recent survey by Deloitte, more than a third of organizations are planning to adopt zero trust. Many anticipate the benefits, but adoption is difficult. Can SDP enable adoption of zero trust? How are buyers tricked into thinking Zero trust is a product? What benefits will you experience after implementing SDP as part of an inclusive zero trust strategy?
Join this BrightTALK Session to hear how SDP is implemented and how marketing can trick you into missing the real treat that SDP has to offer.
