While progress on zero trust is strong, Zscaler found that globally only 22% of organizations are fully confident they are leveraging the full potential of their cloud infrastructure, so while organizations have made solid initial steps on their cloud journey, there is a massive opportunity to capitalize on the benefits of the cloud.

This video zeroes in on one of the most important yet often missed areas of zero trust: unmanageable applications, which leading analysts say contribute to a third of all security breaches.
Traditional layers of security assume users and data are always operating within the confines of the enterprise walls and data centers - like a physical store. One of the biggest mistakes organizations make when structuring their zero-trust strategy is to associate zero trust with infrastructure assets, such as network and devices, when its purpose is to serve as a principle to protect data as a strategic asset for the organization to use in a continuous manner.
