The majority of organizations are on the road to implementing a zero trust framework to increase their overall security risk posture, according to PlainID. However, only 50% said that authorization makes up their zero trust program - potentially exposing their infrastructure to threat actors.

Historically, a zero trust framework was focused on solving the challenges associated with authentication, end point and network access security.

Essentially, organizations may have implemented a form of zero trust but they do not have the complete tool set or the on staff expertise and knowledge to have true visibility and control of their network.

Without true zero trust, organizations run the risk of leaving gaps in their security infrastructure.

As the demand for risk based authorization and identity aware security rises, the deficiencies of legacy home grown authorization engines are exposed.

"Zero trust must treat all identities as potential threats. While zero trust boosts higher levels of confidence, it's imperative to pair it with a comprehensive authorization framework," said Oren Ohayon Harel, CEO of PlainID. "Enterprises today need continuous evaluation and validation across all tech stack interaction to mitigate data breach impacts".
