Special event
Embarking on the Journey to Zero Trust
With Dr Chase Cunningham
Tuesday, 2 December 2025
Swisscom Arena, Förrlibuckstrasse 181, 8005 Zürich
In a changing world, companies need to continuously develop their security strategy. The Zero Trust approach questions inherent trust within the IT infrastructure and checks every access. This enables companies to not only increase their security, but also drive digital transformation. But what exactly is behind this new security paradigm for the digital age?
We at Swisscom Broadcast are pleased to invite you to a special event where leading minds in the IT security industry will accompany you on your journey into the world of Zero Trust. Together with our partners Swisscom Business, FHNW, Illumio and Cloudflare, we offer you a unique opportunity to dive deep into the origins and practical use cases of this approach.
The event will focus on the keynote speech by Dr Chase Cunningham, followed by short presentations and a subsequent panel discussion with other experts. This event will provide you with valuable insights and concrete solutions to strengthen security in your company and effectively anchor Zero Trust in your organisation.
