John Kindervag

John Kindervag is a cybersecurity expert known for developing the zero trust security model. This approach assumes no user or device is automatically trustworthy, whether inside or outside a network. Instead, it continuously verifies identity and permissions before granting access to resources, reducing the risk of data breaches. Zero trust emphasizes strict access controls, segmentation, and monitoring, helping organizations protect sensitive information even if their defenses are compromised. Kindervag’s ideas have influenced modern cybersecurity strategies, making networks more resilient against evolving cyber threats.
