Cybersecurity in today’s climate is not a linear process. Organizations can’t simply implement a single tool or strategy to be protected from all threats and challenges. Instead, they must implement the right strategies and technologies for the organization’s specific needs and level of accepted risks. However, once the dive into today’s best practices and strategies begins, it’s easy to quickly become overwhelmed with SOAR, SIEM, SASE and Zero Trust — especially since they almost all start with the letter S.
At first glance, it feels like the concepts are very similar. But while there is some overlap, these strategies work together by managing or overseeing different parts of cybersecurity. Some layer on top of each other, and others work collaboratively. Most organizations find that they can most effectively protect their infrastructure by combining the four technologies together.
Let’s take a look at these four common cybersecurity concepts and how they work.
Zero Trust
With remote work now a permanent shift, organizations cannot protect a physical perimeter — because it does not exist. Zero trust is an organization-wide philosophy that assumes the network is always at risk for both internal and external threats. With this approach, you can proactively protect your organization regardless of the physical location of the infrastructure, users and devices. As a default, all resources are inaccessible, and accessing them requires proving one’s credentials.
With zero trust, you apply the principle of least privilege access to every aspect of IT. That means each person only has the access that they need for their own work-related tasks. When granting access, the framework assumes the user, app or device requestin ..
