Building SASE That Actually Works: What Everyone Gets Wrong | Vishal Goyal | EP 106

Описание: Welcome to Musings from the Cyber Trench, the podcast that goes beyond surface-level conversations to explore the real-world challenges shaping public sector cybersecurity.

In this episode, host Vishal Masih is joined by Vishal Goyal, Vice President of Enterprise Architecture, for a deep dive into enterprise architecture, Zero Trust, and the realities of securing complex public-sector environments. With nearly two decades of international experience across consulting, engineering, and operations, Vishal Goyal shares how architecture decisions directly impact resilience, scalability, and security outcomes.
