As digital transformation accelerates, so does the importance of verification. "I think it's become more important right now to ensure the right person has access to the right data and apps at the right time under the right circumstances," says Aarti Borkar, Vice President, OM, for IBM Security. "And to me that's Zero Trust."

Borkar returns to the podcast to explore the connection between verification, context and successful applications of Zero Trust — or in other words, "Never trust, always verify." The conversation covers why the demands of remote work call for a Zero Trust philosophy; how Zero Trust goes hand in hand with innovation; and who on the leadership team can help apply context plus verification to an organization's security strategy.

What are the top findings from the Cost of a Data Breach Report 2020? Charles DeBeck, a cyber threat intelligence expert with IBM X‑Force IRIS, talks about what drives costs higher for some organizations. "We observed a growing divide between organizations that were well prepared and organizations that weren't," DeBeck says.

DeBeck covers more highlights from the report, including top root causes such as cloud misconfiguration and compromised credentials. He also shares what the study found were the most successful security measures for mitigating costs: security automation and incident response readiness.
