Sarah Chen, CTO
Sarah Chen leads the strategic technology roadmap at Principle Networks, bringing over 15 years of experience in distributed network security. She has guided organisations through the move from legacy VPN models to identity-aware, perimeter-less environments.
Zero Trust architecture for the modern edge
As organisations decentralise, the legacy castle-and-moat security model can no longer protect them. This half-day workshop sets out a practical route to Zero Trust architecture for the modern, distributed edge: where the trust boundary really sits, how identity becomes the new perimeter, and how real-time telemetry turns detection into containment.
It is built for leaders accountable for reducing risk who want an approach they can defend to the board. No prior Zero Trust deployment experience is assumed.
Workshop agenda
-
1Phase 1
Defining the trust boundary
Analysing the failure of perimeter-based security in decentralised environments and where trust now has to be drawn. -
2Phase 2
Identity as the new perimeter
Implementing cryptographically verified machine and human identities as the control point for access. -
3Phase 3
Real-time telemetry and response
Continuous monitoring and automated isolation of suspicious network nodes before they spread.
What you will learn
You will leave with a defensible view of how Zero Trust applies to your environment and the sequence that lands value first.
- Why perimeter-based security fails in a decentralised estate
- How to make identity the enforced control point for access
- How real-time telemetry turns alerts into automated containment
