Security News > 2022 > February > Zero trust adoption will continue to mature

Zero trust adoption will continue to mature, with 78 percent of firms planning to bolster zero trust security operations in the new year.

Implementing zero trust technologies can address emerging security gaps, but most enterprises are still in early stages of adoption.

Only 36 percent of organizations have started to deploy zero trust solutions, and merely 6 percent of them have fully implemented their zero trust projects to date.

73 percent of business leaders consider micro-segmentation and Zero Trust Network Architecture to be "Critical technical foundations" for their organization's zero trust strategy.

The top obstacles facing successful micro-segmentation adoption specifically remain a lack of workforce expertise, and an inability to identify the right zero trust micro-segmentation pilot.

Organizations are planning to increase their investment in zero trust and micro-segmentation in the year ahead. Despite reporting difficulties in obtaining funding, two-thirds of those surveyed say they are planning to expand their zero trust budgets in 2022-allocating 36 percent of their total spend to micro-segmentation projects.
