Ensure the safety of the data is more critical than ever, and it is here where the security model Zero Trust (Confidence Zero) is presented as an innovative solution and efficient. This approach breaks with the traditional schema is to delete the implicit trust within enterprise networks, and establish strict security measures in every interaction.
What is Zero Trust?
Zero Trust is a model of cyber security based on the principle of “never trust, always verify”. Unlike traditional approaches that assume that everything that is inside of a corporate network is secure, Zero Trust assumes that any device, user or application can pose a threat, whether internal or external.
The basis of the model include:
- Authentication continuous: Every access request is valid regardless of the location of the user.
- Least privilege: Users and applications to receive only the permissions necessary to perform its function.
- Network segmentation: Set perimeters virtual limit the spread of threats.
Key benefits of the Model Zero Trust
- Protection against internal and external threats
Given that Zero Trust is not assumed that the internal users are trusted, helps to prevent attacks that originate from within the organization, such as those caused by human error or access malicious. - Adaptability to environments with modern
This model is ideal for architectures of cloud and hybrid environments, where data is constantly moving between on-premise servers, private clouds and public clouds. - Greater visibility and control
To implement Zero Trust, organizations gain a monitoring granular activities on your network, which enables them to detect anomalous behavior and respond quickly to potential threats. - Regulatory compliance
The policy of Zero Trust, facilitate regulatory compliance as the RGPD and the CCPA, to provide strict controls on access and the protection of sensitive data.
Key technologies in the Implementation of Zero Trust
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA): Add additional layers of verification before granting access.
- Microsegmentación: Divides the network into smaller sections to reduce the impact of an attack.
- Artificial intelligence (AI): Identifies patterns suspects and optimizes the response to incidents in real-time.
- Encryption end-to-end: Protects the data in transit and at rest.
Challenges in the Adoption of the Model
While Zero Trust offers significant advantages, its implementation requires overcoming certain challenges, such as:
- Initial implementation costs.
- Training the staff to operate them with new tools and paradigms.
- The resistance to cultural change within organizations.
The model Zero Trust represents a necessary evolution in the way in which we protect your data in a digital world in constant change. His focus on the authentication continuous, segmentation, and proactive monitoring what becomes a standard for companies that seek to not only protect your technology infrastructure, but also to ensure the confidence of its customers and partners.
