Zero trust lets you limit access on an as-needed basis, and with the promise of greater protection, it is on the radar for many organizations.

A report released Tuesday by security provider Banyan Security looks at the attitudes and intentions toward zero trust by IT and security professionals.

Security professionals see zero trust as a priority over VPNs. For its report IT and Security Attitudes Regarding Secure Remote Access, Banyan Security commissioned Sapio Research to survey 1,025 IT and security pros in the U.S. and Canada.

The survey also elicited responses from 410 senior decision makers responsible for IT or security who were aware of both zero trust and VPNs. With the shift to remote and hybrid work following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, many organizations turned to VPNs to provide secure network access for remote workers.
