How smooth this implementation goes boils down to one critical component - a strong partnership with the IT team.

Security teams cannot deploy elements of zero trust on their own.

From the beginning of a zero trust implementation, security and IT teams should align on objectives and priorities, and incorporate insights from both sides throughout the decision-making process.

Highlight the value of zero trust for IT. A zero trust model is not just valuable for security - it also establishes process efficiencies that help IT teams work smarter.

Implementing a zero trust strategy also reduces the burden placed on IT teams to respond to IT tickets involving lost passwords and employee account recovery and allows IT teams to resolve more business-critical issues.

While there is an initial upfront cost to invest in new zero trust technologies prior to doing away with outdated legacy infrastructure, security teams should explain the long-term cost reduction benefits IT teams can expect.
