What if trust wasn't something you granted once - but something you continuously verified?

In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow sits down with Frank Goodman to explore one of the most important challenges in modern cybersecurity: establishing trust in an increasingly connected world.

As organizations expand across cloud, OT, AI, APIs, and distributed workloads, traditional approaches based on static credentials, API keys, and long-lived tokens are struggling to keep up with modern threats. Frank shares his vision for continuous trust, where cryptographic source identity and automated policy enforcement work together to verify every interaction in real time.

Together, Aaron and Frank discuss how organizations can move beyond traditional security models and build architectures capable of responding to threats at machine speed.
