Identity-based access, frequent password changes and multi-factor authentication can help reduce the incidence of such attacks, but to be proactive Greatwood and I agreed that identifying the source of repeated, excessive login attempts and blocking such attempts are crucial to detecting and reducing the impact of ransomware attacks. "A zero-trust model is a valuable defense mechanism in blocking ransomware."One of the most effective ways to prevent ransomware attacks is through the adoption of zero-trust architecture, the modern alternative to perimeter-based security.

David Smith and Bernard Wilson, the US Secret Service agents quoted in the report appendix also pointed to lack of identity management as an ingredient for data breaches in more companies: "Organizations that neglected to implement multi-factor authentication, along with virtual private networks, represented a significant percentage of victims targeted during the pandemic. The zero-trust model for access quickly became a fundamental security requirement rather than a future ideal." Zero trust starts with who you are authenticating and what they should have access to - otherwise called identity trust.

Forcepoint's Nico Fischbach, global CTO and VPE of SASE, and Chase Cunningham, chief strategy officer at Ericom Software, on using SASE to make Zero Trust real. Zero Trust: We've been kicking that term around since 2003, by what exactly is it? In a nutshell, it's not treating computers like humans, says Chase Cunningham, chief strategy officer at Ericom Software.

One of the main concerns preventing businesses from committing to a zero trust model is that "Brownfield" environments have too much technical debt that needs addressing before implementing zero trust. The true reason for why businesses are hesitant when it comes to zero trust is due to a lack of understanding of the process and the unfortunate influence of the myths stated above.

Identity very much seems to be an acquired taste Most everyone's first experience with identity comes down to usernames and passwords. Luckily we have enterprises forcing constant evolution in identity out of business-driven use cases.

With the sprawling, dynamic nature of today's networks, if you don't adopt a Zero-Trust approach, then a breach in one part of the network could quickly cripple your organization as malware, and especially ransomware, makes it way unhindered throughout the network. So how should organizations go about applying the Zero Trust blueprint to address their new and complex network reality? These five steps represent the most logical way to achieve Zero-Trust networking, by finding out what data is of value, where that data is going and how it's being used.

For the US government and its suppliers, this executive order represents massive change. This post focuses on the Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity and its impact on cybersecurity and the zero trust approach.

The incidents of the past month have confirmed the lack of cyber resilience in many industrial companies and is another reminder of the benefits of zero trust in mitigating the effects of ransomware. The industrial community must improve resilience in operational networks using zero trust strategies.

We still talk about strategies for protecting the enterprise vs cloud infrastructure, or access management for branch offices vs remote workers. We need to stop talking about places and start focusing on a goal like location-agnostic access.

The global zero trust security market is projected to surpass $66,741. The global zero trust security market is expected to witness a positive growth in the estimated timeframe.
