Organizations must stay ahead of the ever-changing landscape of cyber threats and embrace Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), a modern approach to network security. With ZTNA, granular access control is enforced along with identity-based authentication for secure and efficient networks that protect valuable assets. Are you ready to experience the benefits offered by this revolutionary zero trust implementation of network access?

Bad news first. Implementing Zero Trust is more complex than using a particular service or a product. Although definitions vary, Zero Trust is an approach to network architecture that moves security closer to user actions and away from network assets. In a 100% Zero Trust environment, no user, process or application inside a network is trusted by default.

What size Zero Trust would you like? Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), and cybersecurity in general, would be easier if you could walk into a Zero Trust shop instead of navigating a human and technological minefield featuring confused executives, reluctant employees, and a buzzword-heavy Zero Trust vendor landscape. The fact that “humans don’t work in a Zero Trust manner” will not change anytime soon, but technology is something in your control.

The Zero Trust security model is based on the idea that users and devices are not to be trusted. The world’s zero trust security market is projected to reach a value of US$ 54.6 billion by 2026. The reason for such an increased value of Zero Trust security is the frequency of cyberattacks. Also, an increase in data protection and security regulations contributes to this growth.

Organizations are tasked with the continuous challenge of having to keep up with advancing cyber threats and must change their security strategies for them to remain secure. Zero Trust Security is a response that demands identity validation from all users, devices, and networks, thus eliminating implicit trust altogether.

For infrastructure and operations (I&O) teams, the transition from legacy architectures to a modern zero trust architecture is far from straightforward. Teams often face a complex patchwork of fragmented and siloed systems of different vintages, along with the challenge of managing dozens of disparate security and networking vendors.

As cybersecurity becomes increasingly complex, having a centralized team of experts driving continuous innovation and improvement in their Zero Trust journey is invaluable. A Zero Trust Center of Excellence (CoE) can serve as the hub of expertise, driving the organization's strategy in its focus area, standardizing best practices, fostering innovation, and providing training.
