Zero Trust: Going Beyond the Perimeter
Discover what zero trust means, and how to build a sound strategy using the 3 pillars of zero trust. Read this white paper to get all the details.
Zero Trust is a security model that operates on the principle of 'never trust, always verify.' It assumes that every part of your network could be potentially hostile, regardless of whether it is inside or outside the traditional perimeter. This approach is crucial as it addresses the limitations of traditional security methods that rely heavily on firewalls and endpoint security, which have proven insufficient against modern threats. With the rise of mobility, BYOD, and cloud computing, organizations must rethink their security strategies to ensure that access requests are continuously verified.
How does Zero Trust enhance security for users?
Implementing Zero Trust for workforce security helps organizations mitigate several risks, such as compromised credentials, which account for nearly one-third of breaches according to the 2019 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report. By ensuring that only validated users with secure devices can access applications, organizations can limit access to sensitive data based on the principle of least privilege. This model also continuously reassesses trust levels, adapting to changing security states and minimizing the potential impact of breaches.
What are the pillars of Zero Trust?
The three pillars of Zero Trust are: 1) Zero Trust for the Workforce, which focuses on securing access for users and their devices; 2) Zero Trust for Workloads, which ensures secure interactions between applications and services; and 3) Zero Trust for the Workplace, which secures all devices connecting to enterprise networks. Each pillar addresses specific risks and emphasizes the need for continuous verification and adaptive policies to enhance overall security across the organization.
