Applying a Zero Trust Framework for Industry Security

SPEAKERS

Bill Moore Founder and Chief Executive OfficerFounder, XONA Corporate Headquarters

ABOUT THE SESSION

Bill Moore, a prominent figure in the world of cybersecurity, echoed the pressing challenge faced by the oil and gas industry—ensuring the safety of critical systems in an increasingly connected world. He emphasized the shift from the traditional practice of keeping important machines offline, like having a locked door, to a more interconnected setup, akin to having a door that anyone could attempt to open. This shift posed a significant risk, as it opened the door to potential security threats. Bill highlighted the complexity of managing numerous computer systems within oil and gas companies, which further complicated the security landscape. In response to these challenges, he introduced the concept of “Zero Trust,” a new approach to security that involved thorough verification rather than blind trust, ensuring that only authorized entities gained access. 

Key topics:
