Introduction
ACHIEVING ZERO TRUST SECURITY
Fear, uncertainty, and doubt are overtaxed emotions, especially in the risk-filled cybersecurity world, where every day seems to bring a new threat.
As a security professional, you know the threats your organization faces better than anyone. You deal with them every day. The last thing you need is another white paper reciting them to you.
It's the same with Zero Trust.
You already know—even if you haven’t actually experienced it yet—that most data breaches are caused by internal threats, with lost or stolen credentials being the most common cause of data breaches and lasting the longest to detect (327 days, on average).1 And for these reasons, among others, you know that no session should be automatically trusted … ever.
Zero Trust is a logical response to the changing world around us—one that requires enhanced threat mitigation capabilities due to constant cyberattacks and increasing remote users, SaaS applications, edge computing, and cloud-based assets.
But how do you get there?
The question isn’t whether you should or you shouldn’t implement Zero Trust—it’s how do you get started and build a plan, especially if your IT environment is complex and your budget is a little tight?
Many security professionals are struggling to answer that question, which is why we created this white paper. Inside, you will find a practical approach to Zero Trust that will work in any IT environment, including yours.
