Zero Trust: The Glue of Modern Industry

Zero Trust: The Glue of Modern Industry

When was the last time your office space was full from the chatter of rattling keyboards? When was your entire team in the office all at once? Those times might feel like distant memories in today’s modern and increasingly remote world. Modern businesses have never been more flexible. But even the most flexible objects can be prone to fracture.?

Modern businesses need stability, resilience and efficiency. None of this is possible without the proper security infrastructure in place. Especially as workers, devices and applications are more disparate than ever before.?

Not only that, but this infrastructure needs to be robust, but not excessively complex. Because it is this excess complexity that often results in vulnerability and lost resources for businesses, hindering their security and efficiency in the long run. Zero Trust architecture can be the middle ground that organisations need to navigate this challenge- but they have to get it right.?

A Holistic Approach to Zero Trust

A holistic approach to Zero Trust can provide a multitude of benefits, including preventing unauthorised people and malware from entering your network whilst giving remote workers seamless, protected access to resources.

Secure connectivity is paramount to any organisation’s Zero Trust approach. In addition to users working from different devices and locations, including home offices, companies must address how to secure their applications, data and resources.

?“Applications have scattered everywhere,” - CEO of iBoss, Paul Martini states.?

If users can connect to a Zero Trust service, versus a VPN, that service can connect them to whatever they need with secure connectivity at any time, regardless of their location. Just as Netflix evolved from DVDs to streaming services, today’s organisations must adapt to how people connect in a secure way to the data and resources they need.

Connectivity is Oxygen

Connectivity is oxygen - and it needs to be protected at all costs. A Zero Trust approach provides a checkpoint in front of applications and data to make them completely and utterly private - thereby solving both security and connectivity concerns. Zero Trust architecture is the go-to for some of the biggest companies in the world.

Why? Because it works. It offers an unmatched level of security, visibility and usability.

For instance, top cloud security provider and Zero Trust experts,? iBoss manage more than 150 billion transactions per day, with some of the largest organisations in the world, including ADP and Intel.?

Zero Trust solves a root cause of today’s most prolific problems – ransomware and breaches?

You could say it is the single most important way to future-proof your organisation's security.?

Putting Businesses Back Together??

Knowing what zero-trust infrastructure is and the benefits it can have doesn’t mean you know how to implement one in your organisation effectively.?

Believe me - there is no shame in that. The world is evolving fast, and it is hard to keep up with best practices, and there is no one size fits all approach. But you mustn’t let your organisation fall behind.?

Turn to the experts - that’s what they’re there for.?

If you need help getting started, send me a message. I’d happily point you in the right direction.?
