Trent Telford outlines the evolution of cybersecurity, from early methods like closing ports and implementing firewalls, to more complex systems. He notes that the internet was not originally designed for security, leading to a continuous 'chase' to patch vulnerabilities rather than a fundamental fix.
“So if we take a step back like you say, I think what people need to remember is the internet was never designed to be secure.”
“So therefore, what we've spent, let's call it 25 years, 30 years doing now is kind of retrofitting, constantly chasing our tail to get ahead of the bad guys to try and put more walls up, put more moats up, put more protection, better locks on the doors, all that sort of analogy.”
“Now you're hearing a lot about zero trust at the data level, right? We've seen zero trust as a general trend that then became best practice in applications.”
