Digital transformation includes a variety of phases, and most organizations have been driving their digital transformations one step at a time.

Now, we are experiencing a newer phase of digital transformation where organizations are taking old, often manual processes, and converting it to newer, automated processes, one that is more digital by default.

Companies are now going to be asking: How can we leverage digital technology to streamline processes for our business units and customers? But, they also need to be asking themselves: How can we ensure that our new digital processes remain secure? When an organization moves to a digital process, bad actors take note and follow that new approach, opening your organization up to increased risk and more threats, not less.

Now, more than ever before, organizations are at an increased risk of unknown and evasive malware compromising new digital processes.

A Zero Trust framework can help organizations create a more holistic approach to security and mitigate risk to new threats posed by digital process transformations.
