Cyber Huntsville members,

You are invited to join John Kindervag, the creator of Zero Trust to learn how his idea of Zero Trust originated, his early research into Zero Trust best practices, and his advice for organizations on their Zero Trust journey. John will provide us with an overview of how he arrived at this concept several years ago and how the DoD and others are implementing it today.

With over 25 years of experience as a practitioner and industry analyst, John Kindervag is considered one of the world’s foremost cybersecurity experts, best known for creating the revolutionary Zero Trust Model of cybersecurity while at Forrester Research over a decade ago.

In 2021, John was named to the U.S. President’s National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC) Zero Trust Sub-Committee and was a primary author of the NSATC Zero Trust report that was delivered to the President. That same year, he was named CISO Magazine’s Cybersecurity Person of the Year.  

Today, as Chief Evangelist at Illumio, John is responsible for accelerating awareness and driving adoption of Zero Trust Segmentation across industries.
