1398: Add Zero Trust Controls to Your Ex...

NEIL C. HUGHES
About this episode

Ericom Software is a leading provider of Zero Trust secure access solutions that protect organizations from advanced cybersecurity threats. Leveraging innovative isolation capabilities and multiple secure remote access technologies, Ericom solutions enable secure policy-driven access to mission-critical cloud and on-premises business systems and resources, including the public Internet, without impacting end-user productivity.

John Peterson joins me on the podcast to talk about the Application Isolator. I learn how it provides enterprise organizations with the capability to add zero-trust network access and micro-segmentation controls to their existing VPN infrastructure, offering an alternative to costly software-defined perimeter technology.

John is a Michigan bred, 30-year serial entrepreneur, executive leader, technology evangelist, and innovator with small, medium, and large company experience. I have worked in numerous capacities that have included efforts in Research & Development, Technical Support, Sales Engineering, Product Management, Marketing and Product Marketing. I specialize in assisting companies in their growth efforts to go IPO.

Throughout his 30-year career, Peterson has held leadership positions at multiple security companies, including a number of startups that he helped to scale and guide toward successful acquisitions or initial-public-offerings. Most recently, he was founding Chief Product Officer at cybersecurity innovator Stellar Cyber.

Before Stellar Cyber, he was General Manager of Cybersecurity Products for Comodo and VP of Enterprise Technology at Barracuda. Earlier in his career, John held product and go-to-market roles at Juniper Networks, Fortinet, Websense (now Forcepoint), Montego Networks, and Netscreen.
