Adopting Zero Trust With Ismael Valenzuela: Less Trust

This week we chat with Ismael Valenzuela, VP of Threat Intel at Blackberry, a 13-year SANS instructor, and has balanced his time between educator and practitioner for decades. Before peppering Ismael with our usual questions and falling down the rabbit hole, we dug a bit deeper into his background and what drives him to split his time between educating peers and working for some of the biggest names in tech.

On the docket for this week is Zero Trust as a philosophy, why Less Trust is a more applicable term, and the need for a threat model to narrow down your protect surface. As a side note, Ismael also just published a new post highlighting findings from BlackBerry’s new global threat intel report. The team will also discuss these findings today (Jan 26) on LinkedIn live.
