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 48: The Wireless Blind Spot in Your Zero Trust Architecture

62% of security teams have no idea what's happening in their wireless environment. Is yours one of them?
In this episode of the Zero Trust Journey Podcast, host Victor Monga sits down with wireless security expert Brett Walkenhorst to tackle the most overlooked attack surface in enterprise security — wireless. While most Zero Trust conversations orbit around identity, cloud, and network, wireless quietly remains the forgotten frontier. And attackers know it.
Brett breaks down why Wi-Fi is just the tip of the iceberg, how continuous monitoring beats annual audits, and why wireless-related CVEs are growing 20x faster than the overall CVE rate — a stat that should stop every security architect in their tracks.
🔑 Key Topics Covered:
- Why wireless goes far beyond Wi-Fi — Bluetooth, Zigbee, cellular, and IoT all count
- How Software-Defined Radios (SDR) enable spectrum-wide protocol discovery
- The TSCM model and why point-in-time sweeps simply aren't enough
- Continuous monitoring as the wireless equivalent of always-on packet inspection
- Real-world wireless attacks: drone-based evil twin infiltrations and APT lateral movement through neighboring networks
- Why IoT devices get excluded from pen tests — and why that's a dangerous cycle
- How AI is already being weaponized to accelerate wireless attacks
- The one thing every security team should do today to close the wireless gap
