NIST's SP 1800-35 offers 19 real-world examples for businesses developing Zero Trust architecture using readily available technology. Traditional cybersecurity relied heavily on firewalls and has become insufficient due to the complexity of modern hybrid networks. Zero Trust principles focus on a 'Trust No One' philosophy, treating all access requests with suspicion regardless of origin. This is vital in today's remote working environment where sensitive information must be carefully safeguarded. Firms must transition to a risk-based approach, ensuring that access control measures consider identity and context to enhance security practices.
Traditional cybersecurity followed a set-it-and-forget-it mantra, relying on firewalls as defenders. However, modern networks involve multiple access points beyond traditional perimeters.
Cybersecurity threats now seek various ways into systems, underlining the importance of a robust security posture that considers every access request as suspicious.
Zero Trust employs a 'Trust No One' approach, assessing users, devices, and locations thoroughly based on identity, device posture, behavior, and geolocation.
Switching to Zero Trust necessitates a shift to a risk-based approach, requiring planning and careful implementation to maintain security, particularly for sensitive data.
