Zero Trust has matured beyond network architecture theory. For most organisations, the immediate question is no longer whether Zero Trust matters—it is where to apply it first to materially reduce risk without disrupting operations.
In this webinar, NTT DATA and Fortinet will examine why Zero Trust programmes increasingly succeed when they begin with privileged access, session control, adaptive authentication, and access visibility rather than large-scale network redesign.
The discussion will focus on:
- Why IAM now defines the practical front line of Zero Trust
- How privileged access remains the fastest route to blast-radius reduction
- Where UK and EU organisations are over-investing in strategy and under-investing in enforceable controls
- How to make one defensible Zero Trust move this year without launching a multi-year programme
This session is designed for leaders who already understand Zero Trust principles and now need a realistic execution path.
