About this talk
As the security landscape grows increasingly complex and challenging, traditional perimeter-style security architecture needs to be reassessed. The lines between trusted and untrusted entities have blurred, and cyber criminals are taking advantage of the confusion, infiltrating and moving through the network as trusted users. By assuming that nothing is trusted inside or outside the perimeter, Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) aims to dynamically verify all access to system resources as agencies and companies modernize their cybersecurity.
Join our discussion to discover the power of adopting a crawl, walk, run approach to Zero Trust and unleash the true potential of your existing cybersecurity investments, by:
1. A Path to Cybersecurity with Zero Trust Architecture: Assess cybersecurity posture, leverage existing investments, and enhance foundational components like data loss prevention to strengthen your ZTA strategy.
2. The Who, What, When, Where, and How of Zero Trust: Attain continuous visibility and risk assessment across endpoints, networks, users, and cloud assets. Identify coverage gaps, ensure compliance, and enable effective risk management.
3. Learning and Adapting to Evolving Threats: Harness advanced threat intelligence, anomaly detection, deception technologies, and machine learning. Use dynamic insights from network, cloud, and endpoint metadata empower real-time threat detection, hunting, and response
4. Think Like an Adversary: Assume breaches occur and gather necessary data within a ZTA framework. Utilize automated alerts, policy-based remediation's, and proactive threat detection to counteract malicious activities.
By adopting a crawl, walk, run approach to ZTA, organizations can build upon a solid technical foundation, best leverage their cybersecurity investments for securing data, networks, and boundaries while providing visibility into traffic, particularly for hybrid and multi-cloud communications in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape.
