The incentive for a business to implement a zero-trust architecture should be based on internal mandates, with consideration for how a security breach might impact others outside of the organization.

A separate White House memorandum is already pushing critical infrastructure owners and operators to implement baseline security practices to protect national and economic security, as well as public health and safety.

Zero trust focuses on security monitoring, granular risk-based access controls, and automated risk mitigation.

The flow of security data is coordinated throughout an organization's enterprise-wide digital infrastructure, allowing IT and security teams to focus on protecting data and other digital assets in real-time.

A recent survey of North American IT and security leaders evaluated their secure access priorities over the next 12 months and how they will be used to curtail security challenges.

Ninety-eight percent of the IT and security practitioners say their security practices will become more aligned with a zero-trust strategy over the next year, highlighting the urgency to move to zero trust to reduce risks.
