Security News > 2021 > May > Can zero trust kill our need to talk about locations?

We still talk about strategies for protecting the enterprise vs cloud infrastructure, or access management for branch offices vs remote workers.

We need to stop talking about places and start focusing on a goal like location-agnostic access.

To build out a location-agonistic access plan, we need to start by focusing on what we are providing access to and then determine how we can provide it without ever thinking about where the person is.

Today, we need to be able to have application owners provision someone in real-time and grant that access the same day.

For access, some examples are office vs remote workers, business partners, sub-contractors, mergers and acquisitions, and external auditors.

For someone like an external auditor or business partner, it is typically easier to achieve security by limiting access to just the specific information they need rather than the entire network.
