The First Book on IT Security: Zero Trust

In a rapidly changing world where organizations face increasing security threats, Cloud Native, led by Shinji Saito, is proud to announce the release of their first book titled Introduction to IT Security: Zero Trust. This comprehensive guide is set to hit the shelves on June 10, 2025, and aims to provide readers with an in-depth understanding of modern IT infrastructure and the foundational principles of Zero Trust security.

Event to Celebrate the Launch

To commemorate this significant milestone, Cloud Native will be hosting an offline launch event on June 24, 2025, at Azabu Hills in Tokyo. The event will feature a dialogue between Shinji Saito and Minoru Eiho, a renowned professor at Osaka University and CXO advisor at Netskope Japan. This is a unique opportunity for attendees to engage with experts and deepen their understanding of the book's concepts.

About the Book

The book's full title is Introduction to IT Security: Zero Trust - Understanding the Essence for Modern IT Infrastructure. It will have 304 pages and is priced at ¥2,790.
