Why Is Zero-Trust Adoption So Important Today?
The concept of zero-trust is not new; it’s been around for a decade. But the complexity of today’s business structures and the rise of digital transformation are inspiring organizations to take a different security approach: creating policy-based controls to enable secure access no matter how diverse or disruptive the current landscape is.
Verify Explicitly
Verify each request for access or execution as though it originates from an open network.
Least Privilege
Restrict access based on the minimum permissions required to carry out a task.
Assume Breach
Reduce risk by inspecting and monitoring every activity. Use analytics to get visibility and drive threat detection.
Reduce Cost With Centralized Management
Users
Adopt a robust identity security framework
Applications
Support rapid Cloud adoption
Devices
Improve breach detection & vulnerability management
Networks
Enable continuous inspection
