When you trust no one, and assume your system is compromised, at some level, how can you ensure your most sensitive information is kept secure? The Zero Trust cybersecurity model is the future of secure systems. By not assuming implicit trust to all subjects or devices, you can keep bad players out of your most sensitive areas.
Is your team ready to implement Zero Trust Architecture?
Zero Trust is a concept that requires all internal and external users of the organization’s enterprise network to be securely authenticated and entitled to each resource before being granted access and, here is the important part, is continuously validated at each request to access. Zero Trust assumes your network is compromised and that there is no implicit trust granted based only on physical or logical network location, such as with legacy security models that grant trust based on accessing resources internally versus accessing from external sources.
Next-generation cyber security requires a simpler and more secure architecture without interrupting business and security operations. Zero Trust evolves the enterprise from traditional network-based perimeter security where one login gets you access to everything to a focus on secure access to resources where access is controlled by policies and subject, object, and environmental attributes, on a policy-defined need-to-use basis. Zero Trust assumes there is no implicit trust granted to subjects or devices, no matter their physical or network location, and providing the least privilege per-request access necessary to achieve the job to be done.
Zero Trust is the term for cybersecurity models that move defenses from traditional network-based perimeters to focusing on data/resources, users, and assets
Zero Trust is the collection of concepts and ideas to minimize the uncertainty in enforcing accurate, least privilege per-request access decisions, while assuming a compromised network
Zero Trust Assumes there is no implicit trust granted to subjects or devices no matter their physical or network location
Classic perimeter security and defense-in-depth strategies are ineffective against modern adversaries, advanced threats, and insider threats
What is Zero Trust Architecture?
Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is an enterprise’s cybersecurity plan that utilizes Zero Trust concepts and principles to prevent data breaches and limit lateral movements within secure systems. Migrating an enterprise network and its core business applications and workflows that is ZT enabled is a journey of epic proportions. There is no one single architecture to implement, but rather a set of Zero Trust guiding principles to improve the security posture of any enterprise network.
