Striking the Right Balance: Zero-Trust Security for a Frictionless User Journey

This session tackles the challenge of achieving top-notch cybersecurity without sacrificing a smooth user experience. It will likely start by explaining Zero-Trust security, a method that verifies every login attempt, boosting security but potentially creating hurdles for users. The discussion will then explore the importance of a frictionless user journey, where accessing resources is quick and easy. The key takeaway will likely be how to strike the right balance between these two priorities. You can expect to learn about strategies like streamlined authentication and user education, all aimed at creating a secure yet user-friendly environment.
