Valuable End User Insights in State of Zero Trust survey

Before we ever wrote a line of code for the Application Access Cloud, we were able to meet with 50 CIO and CISO’s to discuss their challenges related to secure remote access. Hearing directly from decision makers, with big portfolios, and diverse set of responsibilities was immensely helpful to us.

The new State of Zero Trust survey from ESG gives you instant access to more than 400 IT professionals involved in zero trust initiatives across North America. As a company leader, and a vendor of zero trust solutions, I found the report full of valuable insights.

A major takeaway for me is that successful initiatives are never just about technology. As the report laid bare, it takes a talented and well-resourced team with executive leadership and support. People, process, AND technology, that is the recipe for success.

• 40% of respondents either paused or abandoned zero trust projects, with many citing executive leadership and technical challenges.

With nothing to deploy on endpoints we could deliver immediate ROI.
