Guest:

• Anoosh Saboori, former Product Manager at Google Cloud

Topics:

• We had zero trust episodes before and definitions vary! When we say zero trust, what do we mean?  
• What about zero trust for workloads in production? When you say “workload,” what do you mean?
• What is BeyondProd, for those that are unfamiliar with it? And how is this different from BeyondCorp? 
• How has BeyondProd actually been implemented at Google?  
• What threats does it help with? Is this real threats or compliance?
• Why is now a good time to be thinking about zero trust for production systems? 
• Companies have many security tools deployed, including microsegmentation and firewalls, how does this toolset fit? Does it replace anything they have deployed?
