Security News > 2021 > December > The current state of zero trust: Awareness is high, adoption is lagging

One Identity released global survey findings that unpack the current state of zero trust awareness and adoption across the enterprise.

As zero trust awareness continues to rise on the heels of the U.S. White House's Executive Order that was released in May, and a year plagued by one disastrous cybersecurity incident after another, new findings reveal that only 1 in 5 security stakeholders are confident in their organizations' understanding of zero trust.

According to the Dimensional Research-conducted survey of 1,009 IT security professionals, zero trust is a main security priority for most organizations, but comprehensive understanding and adoption of the Forrester-founded framework remains inconsistent.

Lack of clarity remains the top barrier to zero trust adoption.

Among key barriers to widespread zero trust success is a lack of clarity on how adoption can be achieved.

Other key barriers to zero trust adoption include competing priorities, and beliefs that zero trust can hinder business productivity.
