Traditional perimeter-based security makes it difficult to conduct business by building ever-higher walls around everything and leaving yourself at risk when your defenses inevitably fail. Zero Trust allows you to target the best security policy for a specific business journey and continuously update the policy as changing circumstances demand. If old security models were inflexible moats and castles, Zero Trust is a modern city where each building, residence, property, etc. has its own security system and is accessible only to authorized individuals. is. The flooring and resources they need to live, work, and play. Public safety, on the other hand, identifies hazards and provides surveillance and response services to address them. Targeted protection allows cities to locally limit the impact of a threat to a single neighborhood or city block, making it unlikely that an event will disrupt the entire city. Zero Trust allows organizations to:
- Easily support models that work anywhere. Zero Trust gives employees more options to work from anywhere and on any device as long as they are properly authenticated with compliant devices and apps. Zero Trust can also empower employees by shifting responsibility for security away from users and instead relying on technical controls to do their jobs (for example, instead of requiring employees to remember passwords). , establishing identity using digital certificates and biometrics). Instead of forcing employees to use a VPN to connect, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) allows secure connections from virtually anywhere without the hassle of a VPN. Masu.
- Accelerate cloud modernization. As enterprises seek scale, flexibility, performance, and innovation from cloud services, they are adopting cloud-native technologies, driving agile, DevOps-based technology operations, and upgrading cloud security with Zero Trust. Hyperscalers are now incorporating Zero Trust principles into their environments. In May 2023, AWS debuted his ZTNA service, joining GCP and Azure, which already offered the service. Google adopted Zero Trust after a nation-state attack a decade ago, and its systems and interfaces now embody Zero Trust principles. Azure leverages its position as an identity provider for many organizations to make its systems identity-first and one of the few trusted Zero Trust “policy engines” described in NIST SP 800-207. provide one. For those who are still wary of moving some workloads to the cloud, Zero Trust can alleviate many security and privacy concerns.
- Co-create and innovate more flexibly with your partners. Without the benefits of Zero Trust, security teams rely on partners to provide complex access to corporate data and systems, even if they intend to provision access, stifling innovation. It will be. Zero Trust allows you to limit partner access, protect data with encryption and privacy-preserving technology, and segment your network so partners can maintain their partnerships while reducing the risk of data breaches and privacy violations. It can be achieved. Examples include data sharing partnerships for value-added services to consumers and the ability for manufacturers to share data with suppliers to help streamline and strengthen their supply chains.
- Pilot new technologies with less risk. Healthcare organizations struggle to ensure a safe environment thanks to the variety of devices connected to their networks, resource constraints, and the fact that mistakes can be life-threatening. Pacemakers, insulin pumps, and other medical devices are becoming increasingly advanced and connected. Meanwhile, new cloud and edge solutions are making it technologically easier to move patient care to the home, dramatically increasing the attack surface for healthcare organizations. Microsegmentation can protect clinical applications from lateral movement by cybercriminals, making ZTNA essential for edge deployments and deployments within the hospital itself. In an industry plagued by ransomware and state-sponsored attacks, Zero Trust ensures continued digital transformation.
- Protect your AI models. For many companies, large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, GPT-4, Bing with AI, and Bard are transforming their businesses, generating new revenue, creating new experiences, and optimizing existing processes. This contributes to cost reduction. Cybersecurity teams rely on data scientists, Machine learning operations should help developers. injection. While the core Zero Trust principle of least privilege still applies, enterprises should focus on protecting the data itself using key technologies such as homomorphic encryption and differential privacy, and continuously monitoring for suspicious activity. must be placed.
