As remote access moves beyond office environments and into the critical infrastructure and manufacturing sectors, concerns about cyberattacks that could leave citizens without power, water or transportation or send manufacturing and production to a screeching halt are quickly becoming major issues. Duncan Greatwood, CEO of Xage Security, explains the dangers of using “cobbled together” or insecure solutions to manage remote access in these sectors and why zero trust architecture must play an important role in modern security solutions that protect critical infrastructure and industry.
Greatwood: I have a long history in the tech industry. Before joining Xage, I was an executive at Apple, leading search technology projects and products. I also served as the CEO of Topsy, the pioneer in social media search and analytics that Apple acquired in 2013. Before Topsy, I was the founder and CEO of PostPath, the email and collaboration security company acquired by Cisco in 2008.
