What is Zero Trust Security?

Zero Trust Security is a holistic approach to design security architecture

It is based on a fundamental concept of Never trust, always verify anyone or anything operating within or outside the security boundary.

Designed to protect all computer assets, applications and data, irrespective of where they are or where the user is accessing them from.

It is not a product, but a set of design principles which cannot be implemented using a single product.

Visibility & Analytics

Zero Trust  Network

Implement Micro Segmentation, IPSec, Authentication Internet Protocol (AuthIP), Private VLANS, Wireless Network Station Isolation to stop lateral movement of malicious code in your network.

Zero Trust People

People accessing the organization's resources are by default untrusted. Their Identity must be checked and verified periodically.

Zero Trust Data

Data should remain safe in storage, transit or in use even if it leaves the local devices, apps, infrastructure, and networks the organization controls. Data should be classified, labelled, and encrypted, and access restricted based on the attributes.

Zero Trust Devices

 Devices must be checked and verified to be authorized to access the network The Integrity of every device must be checked at startup and during operation

Zero Trust Workloads

Identify all workloads that relate to the cloud assets intended for protection. Define internal segmentation based on “least privilege,” configure an access control policy to enforce this segmentation.

Visibility & Analytics

All network traffic should be inspected and logged. Deploy network analysis and visibility (NAV) tool to gain visibility. Know who is accessing your network and their behaviour. Implement measures to know what cloud apps are being used.

Automation  Orchestration

Cloud orchestration is the automation of the different systems automations across services and clouds. Helping to connect various automated tasks to create a cohesive workflow which  helps the enterprise to achieve its goals. 

Implementing Zero Trust

Focus on resources  (Assets, services, workflow, network accounts)

Requires strong Identity management

Devices are Known and ttheir health validated

Apply Least privilege
