report offers the guidance needed to help security and risk leaders move from intent to action. It’s a practical framework to move forward through use-case driven planning, architecture, implementation, and ongoing governance.

Download the full report and learn why, in Cato’s understanding, Gartner emphasizes:
    • Why Zero Trust strategies stall or fail, and recommendations to keep them on track
