Security News > 2020 > June > Lean into zero trust to ensure security in times of agility

Zero trust aims to eliminate implicit trust associated with the locality of user access, for example users on the Intranet versus the Internet, and moves the focus of security to applications, devices, and users.

Zero trust is a framework, an approach to managing IT and network operations that helps drive protection and prevent security breaches.

In striving for this, zero trust actually attempts to simplify security by eliminating the need for separate frameworks, separate tools and separate policies for security based on locality of access.

By putting the emphasis on applications, users and devices and eliminating implicit trust associated with internal networks, zero trust essentially aims to reduce the overhead associated with managing different security infrastructures associated with external vs internal boundaries.

Embracing the move to a zero trust framework will help ensure that as organizations adapt to a new normal, security continues to keep pace and serves as an umbrella of protection within which agility and innovation thrive.
