Zero trust remains one of the best ways for companies to reduce total risk. By knowing the potential risk of any request — both inside and outside the enterprise network — rather than assuming good intentions, companies can limit potential attacks.
Deploying a zero trust framework at scale, however, may cause frustration. It increases operational complexity and reduces overall productivity even as it boosts security. But with the majority of staff members now working from home — and many likely to remain at least partially remote in the future — zero trust is more important than ever.
So, what does this model look like? How do enterprises find a balance between speed and safety to help reduce the friction of zero trust initiatives — all without increasing risk?
What is Zero Trust?
Never trust, always verify. This is the essence of zero trust.
According to John Kindervag, creator of the zero trust model, the framework offers a simple way for companies to improve overall protection.
“When every user, packet, network interface and device is untrusted,” he says, “protecting assets becomes simple.”
As noted by IBM Vice President and CISO Koos Lodewijkx, however, zero trust environments are now evolving. Zero trust is no longer something enterprises have, it’s something they do.
