Zero trust security

As organizations leverage cloud services and mobility, attack surfaces grow in tandem with overall security risks. A new approach is needed to better protect workloads outside of an organization's traditional controls. Zero trust security is a framework that implements the principle of "least privilege" by dynamically verifying identity and assessing the risk of each transaction. By implementing zero trust security across all networks — including public and private clouds — you allow your security teams to gain control and improve visibility.

Guarding the Cyber Fortress: Zero Trust vs. Segmentation

In the realm of cybersecurity, terms like zero trust and segmentation are often intertwined, but they should not be used interchangeably. Zero trust is a comprehensive security strategy based on the principle that no asset or entity is explicitly trusted, whereas segmentation is a tactical approach used within the zero trust framework. Let's explore how segmentation functions as a part of tero trust and why distinguishing between these terms is critical.
