Cyber Security
Zero Trust
Just because a user regularly accesses your network or application from a certain device, doesn’t mean that they’re safe. That’s the approach of Zero Trust.
The key term with Zero Trust is scrutinisation. It offers a comprehensive approach to cyber security as we have the ability to scrutinise every users behaviour as well as the way and means of accessing systems. It follows the mantra
‘Never trust, always verify’

Having such a provision allows an organisation to run continuous trust assessments using risk-based authentication adjustments. All to ensure access is only given when appropriate to do so. And it’s dynamic, not like typical VPN or MFA where you authenticate and gain access without any further checks. Zero Trust goes beyond a recognised user and completing authentication.
Below are some of the typical parameters we can set for Zero Trust that trigger suspension to a users access:
Zero Trust is a dynamic, adaptive security provision that is well suited to a cyber security landscape that is constantly evolving.
A missing patch, or an unsupported software application could be the entry route for a threat actor. Hence why Zero Trust doesn’t allow access to a network or system should a device or users behaviour not meet an acceptable threshold of security. If you want your access controls to be as secure as possible then Zero Trust should be part of your cyber security.
