PANEL: Continuous Authorization - A Better Idea Than Zero Trust, or Just a Rebrand?

PANEL: Continuous Authorization - A Better Idea Than Zero Trust, or Just a Rebrand?

Combined Session
Thursday, November 26, 2026 14:40—15:00

Zero Trust told us to never trust, always verify; continuous authorization goes further, treating every access decision as perishable and re-evaluating it in real time. This panel debates whether policy engines and risk-adaptive access genuinely deliver on that promise in production today, or whether "continuous" is doing more marketing work than architectural work.
