Thought Leaders in Cyber Security: Idaptive CEO Danny Kibel (Part 2)

Sramana Mitra: How do you solve that challenge of the Zero Trust access? How do you tackle it?

Danny Kibel: That is based on the basic foundation of Zero Trust. At Idaptive, we verify every user first and foremost. Then we verify that the device they’re using is actually a valid device that can get access to those systems.

We also basically combine User-Behavior Analytics to make sure that the users access the right system with the right level of contact. So how do we verify every user?
