How Zero Trust Architecture Solves These Problems
With this modern architecture, organizations can put an end to the four
ways that firewalls and VPNs expose them to breaches:
? Minimize the attack surface: Leverage zero trust to stop endless
network expansion, eliminate firewalls, VPNs, and their public IPs,
prevent inbound connections, and hide apps behind a zero-trust cloud.
? Stop compromise: Inspect all traffic, including encrypted traffic at scale,
through a high-performance zero-trust cloud that identifies threats and
enforces security policies in real-time.
? Prevent lateral threat movement: Connect users, workloads, and
devices directly to apps instead of to the network as a whole, upholding
the principle of least-privileged access.
? Block data loss: Stop data loss in encrypted traffic and across all other
data leakage paths, including data at rest in the cloud and data in use
on employees’ endpoint devices.
In addition to reducing the risk of breaches, a zero-trust architecture
reduces complexity, increases user productivity, saves money, and
enhances organizational dynamism, solving a variety of problems that
plague firewall- and VPN-based architectures.
