Upcoming Presentation: Zero Trust: Explain Like I'm Five

Date: June 21st, 6:30pm at USC Technology Incubator and YouTube live.

Presenter: Garrett Poorbaugh

About: My name is Garrett Poorbaugh. I am a "fresh" contender in the cybersecurity space, however, I have seen this to be advantageous at times since I challenge many of the "already established" practices we have in cybersecurity! I work as the Principal Architect at Sittadel, and author articles on my new website Security-Connections to help raise the bar of understanding for more complex cybersecurity concepts. Outside of work, I like to break and fix all sorts of things (Actually, sounds like work and hobby aren't too different......) such as electric bikes, electric skateboards, cars, and more. If it's expensive to break and time-consuming to fix, I am all in on that.

Synopsis: In my presentation on Zero Trust, we will focus on breaking down what Zero Trust actually is. Outside of tool resellers using it as a buzzword, we will dive in to understand what it is at a fundamental level. By the end, you should be able to distinguish what really is "Zero Trust" for yourself and identify it in places you may not have originally expected.
