Zero Trust Journey
Zero Trust Journey isn’t about taking sides—it’s about real conversations, sharing research, and learning together. Our goal is to explore Zero Trust from every angle and help cybersecurity practitioners make sense of it in a practical, no-fluff way. And yes, we do love to chat about coffee and listen to the occasional dad joke along the way.
Here’s what we do:
- Conversations with Experts: We chat with subject matter experts who share their opinions, experiences, and Zero Trust journeys.
- Research and Product Insights: We explore Zero Trust products and solutions in the market that may fit into a Zero Trust architecture.
- A Zero Trust Architecture: We’re building and refining an ever-growing architecture focused solely on the needs of cybersecurity practitioners.
- CSA CCZT Study Group: We host a study group for the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Certificate of Competence in Zero Trust (CCZT).
If you’re a cybersecurity professional looking for honest discussions, practical insights, and tools that evolve with your Zero Trust strategy (plus the occasional coffee tip), Zero Trust Journey is for you. Join us!

Episode 29: From Theory to Practice: Zero Trust Implementation
In this episode, we bridge the gap between Zero Trust theory and real-world deployment with Norman Wong, a key contributor to NIST's groundbreaking implementation guide (SP 1800-35).
Guest: Norman Wong (https://www.linkedin.com/in/gahnormanwong)
Host: Dr. Victor Monga (https://www.linkedin.com/in/victorvirtual)

Highlights:
--| Why the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mindset is the biggest barrier to Zero Trust adoption.
--| Inside baseball from the NIST NCCoE project: how competitors like Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, and Zscaler collaborated to build a real-world Zero Trust architecture.
--| The "crawl, walk, run" method: implementing Zero Trust incrementally without disrupting business operations.
--| Beyond the user: why identity is crucial for visibility but isn't the only place to start your journey.
--| The biggest trap organizations fall into: creating fragmented "Zero Trust silos" that don't integrate.
--| Bringing a knife to a gunfight: How AI is becoming non-negotiable for defending against AI-powered attacks.
An essential guide for any leader feeling overwhelmed by Zero Trust, this episode offers a practical roadmap for moving from planning and theory to a mature, measurable program.
