This week's podcast episode of the CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast

You Get a Private Network! You Get a Private Network!

You Get a Private Network! You Get a Private Network!

Co-host Mike Johnson and our sponsored guest Francis Dinha, CEO of OpenVPN, discuss the following:

  • VPNs are not just for illegal file downloaders. The press has been painting a rather negative light of the users of VPNs. They have very valid uses for securing a network. They're not designed purely to download movies illegally.

  • Should you pay now or later for open source? Even when there are no upfront costs for an open source product, it is still preferable to pay upfront to configure an open source solution for your needs knowing that the community will be there to support it. 

  • "Zero trust" is a plan, not an end state. If you're building a "zero trust" network you're working towards a plan where you no longer have to worry about where a device is. Your network can protect itself with devices in any environment. If you're starting from scratch, why wouldn't you start with "zero trust?" It would be much harder to add later.
