Zero trust has transitioned from being just a buzzword to a critical strategy for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs). This shift reflects a broader change in the industry towards a more preventative approach to cybersecurity, emphasizing operational risk management.

This shift places a significant security burden on developers, who must navigate the complexities of multicloud environments while managing their existing development tasks.

While AI holds promise for enhancing cybersecurity defenses, there are concerns about its potential risks, such as adversaries using AI to create zero-day exploits. The challenge lies in balancing the use of AI for protective measures while being aware of its vulnerabilities, alongside the need for consolidation in security tools and suppliers.
