It's high time to bring security architecture into the modern age, and zero trust is designed to enable exactly that.

Employees now frequently work outside the traditional security perimeter, use their own devices, as well as a growing number of cloud services instead of - or in addition to - traditional and centrally-managed devices and on-premises business applications.

Based on these risk profiles and continuous context analysis, the security team can implement and enforce centralized security policies - independently from any old-fashioned network firewall perimeter.

The benefit of the zero-trust approach lies in the fact that it strikes a perfect balance between security and usability: most of the time, employees won't even notice that the zero-trust setup is continuously ensuring a high level of security.

Zero trust paves the way for working securely from anywhere while enabling a smooth employee experience.

It's high time to leave the ancient castle walls of IT security behind and switch to something designed from the ground up for the speed, agility, and user-friendliness of modern hybrid work.
