In this episode of the Zero Trust Journey podcast, bestselling author and enterprise strategist Razi Rais joins host Victor Monga to challenge the idea that Zero Trust can be bought. Razi shares the philosophical foundations of Zero Trust, real-world enterprise pitfalls, and how AI is reshaping security strategies faster than most teams can adapt.

Highlights:
--| Zero Trust is not a tool—it’s an organizational mindset.
--| AI and LLMs are adding pressure on already fragile architectures.
--| Security posture must match real-world connectivity—not old models.
--| Collaboration between dev, ops, and security is non-negotiable.
--| Maturity models work—if you know your organization’s appetite for risk.
--| Understand your “why” before you start your Zero Trust journey.
--| Not every company is ready—or willing—for Zero Trust. And that’s okay.
