🔒 Zero Trust is a security framework requiring all users, whether in or outside the organization’s network, to be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated for security configuration and posture before being granted or keeping access to applications and data.
Why use the Zero Trust Model? 45% of breaches involved cloud-based services, hence the need for robust security in distributed environments.
📊 A report by Cisco, based on a survey of 4,700 global information security professionals, found that 86.5% have started implementing some aspect of the zero-trust security model, but only 2% have mature deployments in place. [2023]
🛠️ Steps to Implement Zero Trust Security in Your Company:
A) Identify Your Critical Assets:
Determine which data, applications, and services are most critical to protect.
B) Verify User Identity:
Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) to ensure that users are who they claim to be
C) Enforce Least Privilege Access:
Limit user access to only what is necessary for their role and function.
D) Micro-Segment Your Network: Divide your network into smaller segments to contain potential breaches.
E) Monitor and Analyze: Continuously monitor user activity and network traffic for suspicious behavior.
