At a recent forum of senior CTOs, CISOs and analysts, several participants expressed a dislike for the term ‘zero trust’. Comments such as the vagueness of the message, the way different vendors use it and the confusion it caused amongst users made some forum members steer away from its branding for both internal and external communication. The group all agreed that the concepts behind zero trust are sound, but many wanted a better way to describe it to their broader organisations. By Phil Allen, VP, Ping Identity.

Ever since Snowden revealed the extent to which US intelligence agencies can so easily access our data, people have become mistrustful of US companies. A survey by GMX last year, for example, revealed that 73% of British internet users mistrust US companies over data protection concerns, which is more than double that of a similar survey in 2015 which showed that only 35% had such concerns. 8% of UK internet users have even left a US online service due to privacy concerns within the last twelve months, while 11% are planning to do so. By Jan Oetjen, CEO GMX.

After all, what good is data if you can’t access it. By Trevor Morgan, product manager at comforte AG.

This has heightened in the last few months, as the global pandemic has seen cybercriminals ramp up activity. The number of phishing websites increasing by 350% since the start of the year, and £16.6 million lost in shopping fraud losses since the beginning of lockdown.
