Zero Trust

NIST Zero Trust Architecture Compliance

Zero Trust network security framework suggests that administrators trust no one and subject all users to full authentication and authorization prior to any user-to-application request. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published recommended best practices organizations can put in place to minimize cyber risk and exposure.

Why the Evolution of Zero Trust Must Begin with Data Protection

The need for “Zero Trust” today is no longer the same as what we talked about years ago when the term was first coined. Back then, businesses only had a handful of remote workers signing in to the corporate network.

Why the New Executive Order will result in wider rollout of Zero Trust Adoption

The zero trust model exists because of the volume and diversity of cyberthreats on the global landscape. Zero trust is a set of coordinated system management practices plus design principles for modern IT systems. The Biden administration’s executive order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity names zero trust as an essential component in hardening federal agencies against internal and external threats to national security.

A Zero Trust Security Approach for Government: Increasing Security but also Improving IT Decision Making

Technology advances like cloud, mobile, microservices and more are transforming the public sector to help them deliver services as efficiently as commercial businesses, meet growing mission-critical demands, and keep up with market expectations and be more agile.

Spectra Alliance Helps Enable Zero Trust

Zero Trust is not something you purchase. Zero Trust is a security strategy you build out using the working assumption that there are no safe network zones, no perimeters, no safe users, and no safe devices. The Spectra Alliance helps enable a Zero Trust model across the scope of six elements including applications, data, networks, infrastructure, identities, and devices.

Deploying Zero-Trust Networks in the Era of COVID-19: A Guide for Service Providers

The coronavirus pandemic has exposed business continuity inadequacies at many organizations, and highlighted the slow pace of progress in digital transformation. This new reality necessitates a departure from a traditional network-centric security model that assumes every device and user within the network should be trusted.
