Zero Trust is a responsibility leaders choose to own. 

In this #shifthappens episode, we’re joined by Nicolas Blank, CTO of NBConsult, to unpack why most security programs fail before technology even enters the picture. 

Through analogies and real‑world examples, Nicolas explains why Zero Trust starts with leadership alignment, emotional buy‑in, and clear guardrails. The conversation explores what “assume breach” really means, why AI agents introduce new trust boundaries, how sovereignty and control are deeply connected, and why security breaks down the moment responsibility is outsourced.
