What Are the Benefits of Choosing a Zero Trust Architecture?
Today’s cloud environments can be attractive targets for cybercriminals aiming to steal, destroy, or ransom business-critical and sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information (PII), intellectual property (IP), and financial information.
While no security strategy is perfect and data breaches will never be eliminated, zero trust is among today’s most effective strategies. Zero trust shrinks the attack surface and mitigates the impact and severity of cyberattacks, reducing the time and cost of responding to and cleaning up after a breach.
Additionally, a zero trust security model is the most effective means of cloud security there is. The ability to not trust any connection without proper verification is essential given the amount of cloud, endpoint, and data sprawl in today’s IT environments. Plus, the increase in visibility will make life much easier for IT and security from the administrator level all the way up to the CISO.
