In our digital world, physical perimeters have become obsolete. Similarly, the idea that there is a network edge, or that trusted networks exist, is an outdated mindset. In the past, users and assets resided within the physical walls of the organization, and trust was defined by the perimeter. As cyber threats continue to evolve, and remote and hybrid work environments expand, implicitly trusting users, devices, and applications that are on a company’s network is no longer a viable approach. A modern approach to cybersecurity validates identities seeking access to data and systems. This approach to security is referred to as Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), a security framework that helps mitigate the risk of cyber attacks by treating all users and devices as potential threats. Organizations with mature cybersecurity programs have implemented ZTA to keep pace with the evolving threat landscape and regulatory compliance requirements.
