Zero Trust is a security concept that is centered around the belief that organizations should not trust anything inside or outside its perimeter and instead must verify anything trying to access systems. Zero Trust is rooted in the principle of “trust, but verify,” which became a well-known phrase used by President Ronald Reagan on multiple occasions in the 1980s in the context of nuclear disarmament.
The Zero Trust model can be thought of as a more modern way of thinking vs the old castle-and-moat mentality that had organizations focused on defending their perimeters while assuming everything already inside could be trusted. The issue today is that the Trust Model needs to be adapted to the erosion of the perimeter caused by a combination of the rise of BYOD and the rapid adoption of cloud services. Let’s take a look at a 6-step approach to implementing Zero Trust in today’s perimeter-less world.
Step 1 – Bring users into zero trust fold
Implementing an Identity and Access Management (IAM) tool with single sign-on (SSO) is an important first step to covering users as part of your Zero Trust program. Only users that are under identity and access management and can verify their identity get access to your corporate-sanctioned cloud services. Implementing a CASB like Netskope alongside IAM enables you to expand identify coverage to use cases such as compromised credentials where you can identify what users have had their credentials compromis
