It's not about buying security products! Joseph Carson, chief security scientist from ThycoticCentrify, offers practical steps to start the zero-trust journey.

What exactly is zero-trust? Where did it come from? And most importantly, how can it be effectively implemented to enhance the security posture of an organization?

While zero-trust can often get lost in marketing jargon, it's critical framework that has the power to not only reduce the known security risks of the past, but also reduce the new and evolving security risks of the future - if and when put into practice correctly.

Implementing zero-trust is very much about how you practice security within the organization and about having zero assumptions - not vendor solutions.

I'm actually not a big fan of the name "Zero-trust" and prefer to think of it as continuous verification or making zero assumptions - but the security approach of the zero-trust mindset is a solid baseline on how organizations should put into practice to reduce the risks from cyberattacks.

Most vendors provide features that will help put in place zero-trust security controls to help you on your journey and it is important to map out the risks that you want to apply a zero-trust framework and mindset to.
