At the #ZeroTrustSummit, @OCTODC CISO Suneel Cherukuri delivered a keynote addressing the evolving cyber threats facing critical infrastructure and the complexities of implementing zero trust security. He emphasized that while zero trust is essential, its successful adoption depends on overcoming user resistance and ensuring security measures do not hinder daily operations. Cherukuri highlighted the importance of effective communication and user engagement, explaining that security teams must align zero trust strategies with employee workflows to gain acceptance. He noted that while senior leadership quickly grasped the need for zero trust, convincing end users—who are accustomed to traditional access privileges—remains a significant challenge. “It’s not going to stop,” Cherukuri said, stressing that zero trust is a continuous process that evolves with technology. His approach focuses on meeting users where they are, understanding their business needs, and integrating security in a way that enhances rather than obstructs productivity.
