Over the last few years, how we see and use storage has gone through a major transformation. We no longer carry around bulky hard drives and we’re less concerned about running out of space. Instead, we simply upload everything to the cloud. It’s an invisible, broad infrastructure that feels neverending and sometimes appears too good to be true. It’s a dream come true … for most people. But for someone like John Davis, the Vice President of Public Sector at Palo Alto Networks, the cloud isn’t this amazing, perfect thing. Quite the opposite, in fact. Instead, John sees a technology littered with unknowns and filled with potential threats. On this episode of IT Visionaries, John returns for his second appearance and he updates us on his new role, what some of the best practices are for preventing data breaches, and he tells us why zero-trust isn’t just a buzzword.

• There’s beginning to be a shift away from the traditional legacy approaches
• Cloud security is a two-way relationship & communication between provider and consumer is key
• Zero Trust is gaining popularity and is the art of securing your most valuable assets from the inside out
