The Neighborhood
A Community for Zero Trust Practitioners
Welcome to The Neighborhood – your community of information security professionals focused on applying Zero Trust to their enterprise.
None of us alone are as wise as all of us together, and information security is too important to leave to chance. By collaborating and learning from each other, we can make our enterprises more efficient, more resilient, and more resistant to threats.
And that’s why we created this space – to foster conversations and open discussions about best practices, challenges, solutions, and approaches to Zero Trust.
Our community meets for a virtual video discussion on alternate Wednesdays, at 1:00 pm ET. Discussions are led by industry expert Jason Garbis, who provides upfront commentary and guidance for the subsequent peer conversation. Sessions aren’t recorded and participation is for enterprise security practitioners only – no vendors.
