How prevention-first architectures and resilient endpoints are turning zero trust from principle into practice.
Zero Trust has been the industry’s North Star for a decade, yet most enterprises still struggle to operationalize it. The principle “never trust, always verify” is easy to say, hard to do.
According to Gartner, 63% of organizations worldwide have implemented some form of zero trust strategy, yet only a small fraction report applying its principles consistently across all environments. Meanwhile, a 2024 Ponemon–Entrust study found that just 18% of organizations have fully operationalized zero trust while 68% are still in the planning or early execution stage. For most CIOs, zero trust remains more in an aspiration stage than in their architecture.
At Now & Next Miami 2026, IGEL will show how that’s changing. Through integrations with Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks, and Omnissa, IGEL is helping enterprises move zero trust from theory to enforcement, not in policies or dashboards, but at the endpoint layer itself. Together, these partnerships turn the endpoint into a place where zero trust becomes measurable, reportable, and real.
For CIOs, this means a shift from theoretical compliance to tangible control across the enterprise, and Now & Next 2026 is where the conversations are happening.
The resilience imperative
Resilience has quietly overtaken uptime as the defining metric of digital readiness. The modern enterprise isn’t measured by how well it prevents disruption, but by how fast it recovers when—not if—disruption occurs.
At Now & Next Miami, General (Ret.) Paul Nakasone, former Commander of U.S. Cyber Command and Director of the NSA, will lead a discussion on national cyber resilience. His perspective focuses on an important truth: Endpoint strategy has become inseparable from organizational and national security strategy.
When resilience is embedded at the endpoint, the enterprise moves from surviving change to thriving through it with minimal operational disruptions.
