Regarding security, most businesses have a “better safe than sorry” mindset. However, with the increase in connected devices and the cloud, implementing traditional security measures can often be overkill and lead to reduced productivity.
In this blog post, will give you an overview of zero trust network security and how it can help your business be more secure while still allowing employees to work efficiently. Stay tuned for future blog posts where we will go into more detail on each of these topics!
Zero Trust Network Security
ZTNA security model builds on the principle of least privilege and applies it to network and user access at the application layer. The model is designed to make security and compliance more manageable. This is rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach to all systems in an organization.
ZTNA is a three-tiered security methodology that protects against cyberattacks. This is by providing granular access controls to data and applications based on risk assessments. Zero Trust Networks are secure by design.
ZTNA moves away from traditional perimeter-based security models. It assumes users are trustworthy and instead focuses on risk-based access control. Zero Trust Networks allow for continuous monitoring of all users and devices.
This enables administrators to identify and block unusual behavior. Also, its benefits are to detect malware infections and more easily comply with regulatory standards. These standards are PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST, and SOX.
Automation in Security
Zero Trust Networks reduce costs by improving efficiency and automation in security operations. This is through technology like Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs) and User Behavior Analytics (UBAs). CASBs allows administrators to leverage existing security investments.
This is while mitigating risks posed by cloud applications. Also, UBAs enables continuous monitoring of all users across the network, regardless of location or authentication method used. Zero Trust Networks use Trusted Access Execution Environments (TEEs).
This platform is a system for securely executing code in an isolated environment. Also, to enable an application’s secure cloud integration without placing personal or corporate data at risk.
