Yesterday was the solstice, marking the official start of winter — the year’s shortest day and longest night. It always gives me hope, though, as our darkest days are now behind us.
Another thing has given me hope lately: the Google search trend for “zero trust” hit 100 earlier this month, marking a historical peak interest for the query. That’s a four times increase from two years ago when it hovered at 25.
It matches the increased interest we’ve seen from companies, having conducted our advisory workshop for 6 of them in the last 4 months with the aim of moving to Zero Trust maturity.
In a work-from-anywhere world, organizations are waking up to an “always verify” future for cyber security. One thing is for certain: there’s only more daylight ahead.
