Secure Your Shared Assets With Zero-Trust Security
As organizations continue to move away from the traditional on-prem environment and toward this new IT reality, their legacy cybersecurity solutions have been unable to keep up, creating unmanageable complexity and increased risk. These emerging issues lead to the implementation of Zero-Trust security architectures that do not automatically extend trust regardless of whether a user is inside or outside the perimeter.
The brief discusses how IT managers can deploy Zero-Trust security architecture:
- With micro-segmentation to isolate resources within the IT infrastructure.
- Divided network resources at a granular level and tune security settings to different traffic types.
- Policies that limit network and application flows to only those explicitly permitted.
This approach allows security teams the flexibility to apply the right level of protection to a given workload based on sensitivity and value to the business. It also helps mitigate risks from increasing access needs.
In today’s businesses, access typically isn’t limited to just employees and business partners — in many cases, it must also be extended to consultants, customers, suppliers, and more. These individuals all need access to business applications and IT resources in global private data centers and public clouds.
With fluid network perimeter and IT-enabled workforce, IT managers are challenged to provide reliable and secure mobile and global connectivity while overcoming shortcomings of traditional VPNs and software-defined perimeters.
