Security News > 2022 > November > Cloud security starts with zero trust

In this interview for Help Net Security, Mark Ruchie, CISO at Entrust, talks about cloud security and how zero trust should be implemented to guarantee overall cloud protection.

Generally speaking, the best way for an organization to approach zero trust is for security teams to take the mindset that the network is already compromised and develop security protocols from there.

The nature of zero trust is inherently complex due to the significant steps that a company has to take to achieve a true zero trust atmosphere, and this is something that more businesses should take into account.

At its core, zero trust inherently means security teams do not trust anything, so individuals accessing the organization's network must prove they are trustworthy.

Implementing zero trust can greatly help organizations determine which areas are significant threats and which areas need increased security.

Several years ago, most people thought that they only needed to replicate on-premise security controls like web application firewall, and then came cloud access security brokers, which required a new set of security controls.
