Security firm Barracuda Networks announced on Thursday that it has acquired Fyde, a provider of Zero Trust Network Access solutions.
As Barracuda explains, Fyde's Zero Trust solution "Enables secure, reliable, and fast access to cloud or on-premises applications and workloads from any device and location."
The principle is conceptually simple: protect everything and authenticate everyone before allowing access, with zero assumed trust.
The application of zero trust requires that every user is explicitly authenticated, every device is known to be trusted, and access is granted only to authorized assets.
Zero Trust has been a hot area of information security, with several larger security firms making acquisitions to add the category to their offerings.
