Resolving the Zero Trust Encryption Paradox
May 24, 2024 by Jenn Markey
PKI and cryptography are critical components of a Zero Trust strategy, driving the use of encryption to keep identities, devices, data, connections, and communications secure. Like many things, increased use of encryption starts with good intentions, but may have unintended consequences. In this case, the proliferation of certificates across the organization may create a management and ownership challenge, adding cyber risk

Ever since ChatGPT debuted in November 2022, the hype and hysteria surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) has continued to accelerate. Indeed, rarely can you read an article or watch a news clip without AI being inserted into the conversation. With AI-enabled deepfakes, AI-displaced workers, alleged AI theft of intellectual property, and AI-fueled cyberattacks, the raging debate is not only if and how to regulate AI, but also when and by whom.
