Using managed services to operationalize and accelerate a ‘zero trust’ model for cybersecurity
The digital landscape is constantly evolving, with new technologies driving business forward but also creating new cyber threats. In this environment, it is crucial that businesses have a strong cybersecurity posture to protect their operations, profits, and reputation.
However, many departments are still stuck in reactive postures that cannot keep up with ever-changing risks or business needs. As a result, 58% of tech executives report that their cybersecurity teams are behind schedule in responding to these challenges1. This is where a ‘zero trust’ model can provide significant benefits.
The zero trust model is an approach to cybersecurity that involves verifying users based on who they are rather than where they are. This is because perimeter-based security models are no longer effective at preventing cyberattacks. However, operationalizing a zero-trust model at an enterprise level is not easy. It requires a way of thinking —a journey for continually monitoring and improving your security posture.
Given the ongoing nature of zero trust, forward-looking companies are turning to managed services to operationalize and accelerate a zero-trust model. They’re working with providers who bring a comprehensive solution: zero trust strategy, implementation, ongoing enforcement, and continuous monitoring and evolution.
Read our white paper, From zero to hero, that explores what zero trust could look like in four critical layers of cybersecurity and how ongoing execution across these layers allows businesses to focus on long-term outcomes so they stay ahead of evolving risks and stay ready for whatever comes next.
