While quite a pessimistic term, in the security world Zero Trust encourages the organisation to look at their systems more holistically and take a tough stance on data coming in regardless if it’s internal or external. The core tenant of Zero Trust is, as the name suggests ‘trust no one’ and has been developed to combat the more sophisticated cyber threats.
Zero Trust represents the next step from traditional castle-moat approach whereby businesses focus on securing perimeters. This method isn’t simply focused on keeping the bad stuff out, it also investigates what is roaming freely within our network as well.
“The strategy around Zero Trust boils down to don’t trust anyone. We’re talking about, ‘Let’s cut off all access until the network knows who you are. Don’t allow access to IP addresses, machines, etc. until you know who that user is and whether they’re authorized,’” explains Charlie Gero, CTO of Enterprise and Advanced Projects Group at Akamai Technologies in Cambridge, Mass.
‘How do I transition to this new way and what do I need to do?’ I hear you ask; if you are asking the question, then you’re on your way, as defining what a Zero Trust approach looks like for your business is the first step.
5 key processes every business looking to implement Zero Trust should be following:
