 <\/p>\n

Why Zero Trust is Important Now<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

In recent decades\u2013especially the last two years since work went remote\u2013more users are connected to business networks and other Cloud services. With the \u201cperimeter\u201d now outside the traditional office, more care is necessary to grant access only to legitimate users. With more devices connected, data and applications are available to more people. In the zero-trust model, no individual is assumed to be trustworthy simply by being part of the organization. And that begs the question of who is a legitimate user.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Zero Trust Defined<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Zero-trust is a cybersecurity posture that assumes that any user seeking to access the system could be a bad actor. Organizations using a zero-trust <\/span>architecture<\/span><\/a> have set up various criteria to determine that the entity (a device or a person) seeking access is entitled to it. Not only that, but depending on the location of the device and the role of the person using it, access can be limited to the computing resources needed for that person\u2019s function. A common practice used in zero-trust is multi-factor authentication. After giving their password, a user performs an additional step, like submitting a one-time code.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Why of Zero Trust<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The \u201cwhy\u201d of zero trust comes from so many more devices connected to business networks and the Internet, as well as the growth of cloud solutions. Cyberattacks have become ever more frequent, and businesses need a way to verify the validity of access requests. Besides this, once the business has the criteria set up to determine legitimate activity, it is better able to spot suspicious activity. With other cybersecurity practices and tools, zero trust is yet another way to secure your company\u2019s network.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
