Hypori’s Matt Stern highlights security challenges around zero trust and AI

Matt Stern, Chief Security Officer at Hypori, discussed the challenges government agencies face in achieving real-time visibility of users and devices on government networks. During the interview at the 2025 Zero Trust Summit, he highlighted the success of identity and access management but noted difficulties with non-personal entities and funding disparities among agencies. Stern also emphasized the importance of data control and zero-trust architecture, which Hypori supports by focusing on data access rather than device security. He also mentioned AI’s role in baselining and gap analysis, and while optimistic about 6G’s potential, he remains cautious about AI’s current reliability for enterprise security.
