A Strategic Roadmap for Zero Trust Security Implementation

According to Gartner, “The perimeter security paradigm led organizations to assume that entities were secure within a network protected by perimeter controls designed to keep the “bad guys” out.

However, attackers took advantage of the assumption that an internal IP address was enough to allow connectivity in order to move laterally, find vulnerabilities and escalate privileges as part of malware attacks on organizations.

The Shift to Zero Trust Security
Enter zero trust security architectures. As Gartner notes, “Zero trust security architectures replace the implicit and static trust models of legacy security architectures with dynamic and explicit trust models.” To truly optimize your organization’s risk posture, it is crucial for security and risk management leaders to establish a clear roadmap for implementing a zero trust program.
