## Resource

Zero Trust is easy to say. Hard to execute. Most organizations try to build it themselves. Most underestimate the complexity. Most get stuck in architecture diagrams instead of protecting what actually matters: data. If execution determines success – should you really be doing it alone? In this episode of Threat Talks , Lieuwe Jan Koning , Co-Founder and CTO at ON2IT Cybersecurity, sits down with Dr. Chase Cunningham , architect of the Zero Trust Extended (ZTX) framework, to break down what Zero Trust really requires in practice – not in theory. Zero Trust isn’t a product. It’s not a checkbox. It’s a decision about what you protect first – and how seriously you take execution. If your job is to protect critical data without drowning in complexity, this episode will recalibrate your approach. Because in the end, Zero Trust doesn’t fail on strategy. It fails on execution.
