    The Godfather of Zero Trust with John Kindervag
    Aug 5 2025
    In this episode of the No Trust Podcast, hosts Jaye Tillson and John Spiegel sit down with John Kindervag, the creator of Zero Trust, to uncover the story behind one of cybersecurity’s most transformative frameworks. Kindervag shares how Zero Trust has gained traction over the past 15 years, the cultural resistance that slowed its adoption, and how organizations can finally break through inertia by starting small and focusing on protecting what matters most. From the boardroom to the SOC, this conversation dismantles the myth that Zero Trust is “all or nothing” and reframes it as a business-driven strategy with measurable outcomes, including reduced operational costs and fewer breaches. Along the way, Kindervag reveals why the C-suite often understands Zero Trust better than technical teams, how misaligned incentives inside organizations hold security back, and why networking at conferences is still one of the best ways to drive change. Whether you’re a CISO, security architect, or business leader, this episode will challenge your assumptions and leave you with a clear, practical path toward Zero Trust. • John Kindervag is the creator of Zero Trust. • Zero Trust took 15 years to gain traction due to resistance to change. • Organizations should start small and protect specific assets. • Cybersecurity must evolve beyond traditional perimeter defenses. • Zero Trust is about protecting sensitive data, not just technology. • Incentives in organizations often hinder the adoption of new security models. • Zero Trust can lead to reduced operational costs and fewer data breaches. • The C-suite often understands Zero Trust better than technical teams. • Conferences provide valuable networking opportunities and insights. • The focus should be on business outcomes, not just technology.
