At its core, Zero Trust aspires to eliminate persistent trust, and enforce continuous authentication, least privilege, and microsegmentation. This approach reduces the attack surface and minimizes the threat windows during which attackers can inflict damage, helping to protect against simple malware attacks to advanced persistent threats.
But the reality for most organizations is that the path to achieve 100% Zero Trust across their organization is far from clear. Understanding the barriers to implementation and the tools available to help you successfully deliver a Zero Trust strategy enables you to develop your best route to optimally securing your environment and minimizing your cyber risk.
