Zero Trust

Using automated workflows to reach zero trust goals faster

In an ideal approach to zero trust, in which every user and device must continually prove their identity, automation is more than a useful tool, it’s essential to your federal agency’s success. You don’t need to take our word for it - security automation and orchestration is mandated by M-22-09 and M-21-31, and forms an integral part of the framework in CISA’s ZTMM (zero trust maturity model).

How federal agencies can build their zero trust security tech stack

Few would argue that zero trust has become one of the most important principles of modern cybersecurity programs. But ever since the concept of zero trust security was first popularized by Forrester in 2009, many federal government agencies in the United States (along with private sector companies) have struggled to understand its requirements and implement it effectively. Critically, zero trust does not represent a single security method or a type of technology.

Zero Trust Architecture: Definition, Key Components, and Functions

If you want to significantly reduce the attack surface and data breach risks for your organization, zero trust architecture may be the answer. This approach is becoming a priority for global organizations and tech giants like Microsoft that seek to reduce cybersecurity risks in their IT environments. It’s no wonder then that 10% of large organizations will have a comprehensive and mature zero trust program in place by 2026, according to Gartner’s predictions.

Guest Blog: Bolstering Medical Cybersecurity - How ZTNA Platforms Stand as Guardians

A guest blog, written by Jaye Tilson, Field CTO at HPE Aruba. The healthcare industry, the very lifeline entrusted with safeguarding our most sensitive data, is under relentless attack. Cybercriminals see medical records, financial information, and even critical patient monitoring data as their golden goose, with breaches inflicting unimaginable harm. In this ever-evolving threat landscape, healthcare companies must prioritize building robust cybersecurity strategies.

How to Better Implement a Zero Trust Strategy

Access is everything within a network or system. As organizations race to adopt the cloud, relax rules around permitting workers to use their own devices, and continue to embrace hybrid work models, employees gain unprecedented access to data, allowing them to work from anywhere at any time. But this also creates a vast attack surface that hackers are all too willing to exploit. And helps explain why identity-based attacks are on the rise.

Why Identity is the Cornerstone of a Zero Trust Architecture

As organisations continue to embrace digital transformation to gain access to the cloud's many benefits, this means that computing environments are evolving into borderless IT ecosystems. Digital identities are also evolving at pace and identity security is now a crucial aspect of cybersecurity. As we continue to digitally transform organisations, so the importance of secure and reliable digital identities has grown. 2024 is poised to usher in a multitude of innovations and trends in this area, ranging from advanced biometrics to the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning to meet the changing needs of businesses, individuals, and governments.

Zero Trust Explained: Strengthening Cybersecurity in the Digital Age

Zero Trust is a cybersecurity approach that’s vital in today’s interconnected world, where security breaches are a persistent threat. The principle is straightforward: trust no one and verify everything. Instead of assuming a secure perimeter, Zero Trust requires continuous authentication and validation for anyone trying to access network resources, whether they’re inside or outside the organisation.
