Traditional perimeter-based IT security defenses that protect an organization’s “trusted” internal network from “untrusted” external networks are failing.
The network perimeter has all but disappeared with the proliferation of endpoints, including desktop and laptop PCs, smartphones and tablets, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and the rapid adoption of remote work from home (WFH) and work from anywhere (WFA) models due to the global pandemic. As a result, threat actors are breaching network security controls and bypassing endpoint protections with ease.
This modern threat landscape is driving many organizations to adopt a Zero Trust approach to cybersecurity. Security model is based on the concept of “never trust, always verify.” That is, no user, device, or resource (including users, applications, services, databases, and so on) is inherently “trusted” simply because it is “on the network.” Instead, the identity of every user, device, and resource must be positively verified every time it connects to the network and granted only the minimum level of permissions necessary to perform an authorized function for a limited period of time.
