Welcome to the authors’ companion website

Even after writing 20 chapters spanning nearly 300 pages, we still find ourselves with a lot to say about Zero Trust!

Join us here for a series of conversations about the book, and about why we approached things the way we did. Our goal for these discussions is to provide you with additional context and commentary, as well as further thoughts on Zero Trust Security.
