Michael and Kristof discussed the challenge of sharing information about a company's system with security professionals without compromising intellectual property, and the importance of establishing nondisclosure agreements.
The conversation also covered traditional approaches to security, including the castle walls and layers of an onion analogy, as well as more modern approaches such as the perimeter-free zone and Zero Trust.
