ZERO TRUST SECURITY : A New Perspective on Cybersecurity

BYE-BYE RISK

When using a zero-trust security architecture, no apps or services are allowed to communicate until their identity attributes—immutable characteristics that adhere to predetermined trust rules, such as authentication and authorization requirements—have been confirmed.

‍ As a result, zero trust security lowers risk since it reveals what is on the network and how its assets are interacting. A zero trust strategy eliminates overprovisioned software and services as baselines are created and continuously verifies the “credentials” of every communicating assets to further decrease risk.

Got high privacy standards

In a zero-trust architecture, every connection is shielded from the internet, lowering the risk of exposure and exploitation. Compliance with privacy regulations and laws including FISMA, HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, and CCPA is well established since invisibility results in fewer audit findings.

Micro-segmentation, an element of zero trust security, uses precise limitations to distinguish between regulated and unregulated data, allowing the establishment of perimeters.

Boost Data Security

One of the core principles of Zero Trust security is authenticating users by least privilege access. This helps in preventing malicious software or rogue personnel from acquiring access to a sizable area of your network.

Gaining access in a zero-trust security model is like gaining trust. And without trust, the cyber attacker won’t be able to gain access to your data and breach it.

Identity is a Priority

Remote work is highly accepted and spreading across tech giants. With users spread across the world and data on the cloud, there is a significant increase in the risk of companies’ security breaches.

But, thanks to the zero trust security model, where identity is the core perimeter and is attached to users, applications, and devices seeking access, strengthening the security.
