Zero trust is a cybersecurity model based on the phenomenon that every person or device inside or outside an organization’s network perimeter undergoes strict verification and is granted access to the IT systems only if deemed necessary. In the ever-evolving digital landscape, hackers and bad actors are going nowhere. Daily, around 2,200 cases of Cyberattacks are observed globally, many of which go unnoticed.
Cybersecurity is a need of the hour, with zero-trust security standing as the top security model. Cyberattacks should continue to rise if the last few years are any indication. As a result, an advanced strategy for cybersecurity is required, and implementing a zero-trust mentality across all of your systems is essential.
Zero Trust security can protect organizational data utilizing multiple methods. Alongside office security, it also provides hybrid workforce security, ensuring data protection for companies that offer hybrid work modes. This security model reduces the risks of cyberattacks while improving the visibility of the users.
Moreover, zero-trust security encourages enterprises to have a dynamic policy that limits data access from person to person as per their role in the organization. Its feature of least privilege restricts users from accessing data beyond their needs. Currently, over 42% of companies have adopted zero-trust solutions to secure their organizational data from probable cyber threats. Market giants such as Google and Cisco are also among these companies.
Nevertheless, there are certain challenges to implementing this security model, such as systematic adoption, limited productivity, and high maintenance. Furthermore, it is not entirely risk-free; security issues can arise if the model is managed poorly.
This whitepaper sheds light on how businesses can unleash their true potential by shifting from the traditional security approach to zero trust. Download the file to unleash new insights, justified by thorough case studies and operational use cases, into the buzzing data security model.
