Zero trust has a label problem. After more than a decade, the term has been stretched, diluted, and attached to products that don't come close to delivering what zero trust actually promises. In this episode, Matthias sits down with Alexei Balaganski, lead analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts, to share the findings from six months of research and reveal which vendors actually built a real Zero Trust Platform.

Key Topics:

✅ Why zero trust is a strategy, not a product — and what that means for procurement
✅ The four non-negotiable requirements for a real Zero Trust Platform
✅ What separates a genuine platform from a collection of tools with a zero trust label
✅ NHIs, AI agents, and data protection as the new frontiers of zero trust architecture
✅ Three critical questions every RFP for a ZTP should include

🔐 "Stop looking for a Zero Trust Platform" - yes, really. Alexei Balaganski explains why that mindset shift is the most important thing a CISO can do before opening a single RFP.

📊 The KuppingerCole Analysts Zero Trust Platform Buyers Compass and Leadership Compass are both published: watch this episode first, then dive into the research.
