Your company or nonprofits reputation is at stake. If you are a digital executive, please ask your CIO if you have a “zero trust” approach to cyber security. The employee and customer experience is contingent on the answer.
I’m not over stating the case. Just ask Sony, Centcom, Chase, Home Deport or Target.
This approach allows all users to access the network, but not all users to access all data, thus enabling mobility, high availability and the use of cloud infrastructures without compromise to security. It means that not only will we protect the perimeter of the building and the main entrances but when you get in the building, you can only go to one room. Period. No capability to just wander around from room to room. Yes, it says we will trust you in this one room of the building but not everywhere. And the one room you have access to has very narrow functionality.
