Adopting Zero Trust Let Optiv Be Your Guide on Your Zero Trust Journey Overview ZT Insights The Journey ZT Field Guide The Essentials Optiv ZT Expertise What Is Zero Trust? Zero Trust is an information security model based on the principle of maintaining strict access controls by not trusting anyone or any action by default, even those already inside the network perimeter. Instead, each transaction is evaluated for need and risk. It combines network and application micro-segmentation and identity and access management platforms to verify access and authorization, and it allows for more granular access control and machine/application-specific policies. It also employs multifactor authentication, IAM, orchestration, analytics, encryption, scoring and file system permissions, plus governance policies such as giving users the least amount of access they need to accomplish a specific task. So, sometimes, it’s best to assume the worst. Zero Trust security solutions protect networks, applications and data based on the concept of “never trust, always verify.” In a Zero Trust model, identity is the core security control used by security teams that “assume breach” because any user or device is a potential threat actor.

Survey results reveal that the three most useful items needed to make progress on your Zero Trust journey are gap identification, process improvements and road mapping. Optiv can provide assessments, roadmap planning and experts to help you tackle these objectives and more. Image This report – developed by ISMG, Palo Alto Networks and Optiv – reveals the Zero Trust Strategies for 2022 survey insights (and the best ways to put them to work on your ZT journey). Access the Report The Zero Trust Journey Whether you know a lot about Zero Trust or are just wondering about it, Optiv can help – beginning with how to establish a Zero Trust mindset. A Zero Trust approach can help you: Protect/prevent ransomware and insider threats Secure your expanding, complex network, your hybrid users and proliferating devices Reduce security vulnerabilities as you move further into the cloud Minimize your attack surface penetration, even as you add SaaS applications How Does a Zero Trust Network Work? By leveraging and understanding expertise across security domains, Optiv developed four core principles to drive an organization's trajectory towards a true Zero Trust architecture. Image Establish a Micro-Perimeter Secure business resources through "just in time" automatic placement of systems to have access to only permissible services based on security posture. Image Establish a Secure Identity-Based Context to the Resource Contextualize key security events as well as the traffic flow through the micro-perimeter with specific identity. Image Create Enhanced Security Enable additional verification as resources are accessed and managed. Image Continuous Review of Identity and Secure Connection Maintain secure connectivity to resources, monitor activity as the resources are utilized and respond to incidents as needed. Image The Primary Components of Zero Trust When it comes to Zero Trust, what does a perimeter-less secure model look like? There are three primary components, including the design of dynamic micro-perimeters. Our infographic breaks it all down. Explore Zero Trust Image Zero Trust Readiness Assessment Our approach to Zero Trust leverages set principles and a maturity and capability framework applied across key security domains. The result: a readiness assessment that provides a practical roadmap your organization can use to build and mature your Zero Trust capabilities. Get Started Zero Trust Architecture in Action Strong program management is the key to steady progress as you implement security controls throughout your security domains. You need an expert … one that’s “written the book” on the subject.
