The New Shape of Zero Trust
Organizations are moving from perimeter defense to intelligent, identity-driven security. The infographic, "The New Shape of Zero Trust," presents Microsoft's AI-ready Zero Trust framework and shows how to apply it across identity, data, endpoints, and applications for continuous protection. View the infographic and reach out to TechMeg for practical guidance on adopting Zero Trust.
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity philosophy that operates on the principle that everything is a potential threat. It emphasizes the need for continuous authentication and authorization, limiting user access to only what is necessary, and assuming that breaches may already exist. This approach is increasingly important as data no longer sits behind a traditional perimeter, making it essential to secure against both internal and external threats.
What are the key principles of Zero Trust?
Zero Trust is guided by three key principles: 1) Verify Explicitly, which involves continuously authenticating and authorizing users; 2) Use Least-Privileged Access, which limits user access to just what they need; and 3) Assume a Breach, treating every situation as if a compromise has already occurred. These principles help enhance data protection and security in a boundary-less environment.
How can organizations implement Zero Trust?
Organizations can begin implementing a Zero Trust framework by applying the latest technologies and tools, such as multifactor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) for identity management. They should also manage all types of endpoints accessing their data, reduce perimeter vulnerabilities, and ensure data is classified and protected across all environments. Leveraging AI can further enhance threat identification and security policy adjustments in real-time.
