This isn’t the time to panic, according to the information available to him. He specifically made a point to calm nerves and state to the White House press during President Trump’s press conference Saturday that most people will not be required to be hospitalized if they contact COVID-19. The symptoms will be such that otherwise healthy people can stay home and treat the symptoms like they would the flu or a bad cold. He said there are occasional outliers who may die from the disease, like a normally healthy young person, but those cases are very rare. The patients who will be hit hardest and may require hospitalization are the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.Sydney Morning Herald - Nike, Apple among dozens of major brands implicated in report on forced labour -

Zero trust frameworks certainly include many technologies that are already widely used by organizations to protect their data. However, zero trust represents a clear pivot in how to think about cybersecurity defense. Rather than defending only a single, enterprise-wide perimeter, this approach moves this perimeter to every network, system, user, and devices within and outside the organization. This movement is enabled by strong identities, multi-factor authentication, trusted endpoints, network segmentation, access controls, and user attribution to compartmentalize and regulate access to sensitive data and systems.
