Making Zero-Trust Network Security Achievable for Everyone
Adopting a modern security architecture can be a real challenge. Enterprise IT and security teams struggle to secure access to networks while users demand access from any device, anywhere in the world.
This challenge is exacerbated by the overall IT and security skills shortage and the complexity of today’s rapidly changing and heterogeneous environments.
Most organizations to date use traditional network tools that leverage a ‘trusted user’ model where once a user gains access, he or she gains access to the entire network. But in a world where trust cannot be assumed, there is a desire to adopt modern, Zero Trust security approaches. An approach that once again poses challenges for organizations that may not have the resources to implement it.
However, without adopting modern security architectures based on zero-trust, such as a Software-Defined Perimeter, many organizations will be unable to realize the benefits of consistent, identity-centric secure access across hybrid environments.
The good news is that today, enterprises have viable options other than sticking with traditional security solutions (VPNs, NACs, or next-gen firewalls) and hoping for the best. The advent of “as a service” offerings lets organizations overcome IT skills shortages while accelerating deployment of modern security architectures.
