What is Zero Trust Architecture?

When we talk about information security, we always refer to the CIA triad- the relationship between Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. 

Zero trust Architecture drastically increases the Integrity arm of the triangle; it relies on the assurance that with all the technological advances, the availability arm will catch up. 

It relies on the understanding that the IT infrastructure will require a significant investment over a period to ensure that the accessibility of the system is optimized even after the trust in the identity shifts from being implicit to Zero.

We'll look at how you can help your team understand the basic concepts, issues, and review creative solutions. We will specially focus on repurposing existing systems to adapt them to the ZTA model.  

Through the whole series I will emphasize how you can do this yourself within your organization. 

Or, if you are planning to use an outside agency or product, you can use the information to help evaluate which of these agencies and products are most likely to help your team out. 

I've got lots of information for you on how ZTA fits into business and IT processes. So, let's get started.

As businesses continue to move their operations online and into the cloud, traditional security models that rely on keeping sensitive data behind locked perimeters are no longer feasible. Zero Trust Architecture is an alternate approach that eliminates the need for trusted insiders and instead focuses on verifying identities and authorizing access on a case-by-case basis. This approach can be substantially more secure than traditional security models, as it does not rely on assuming that all users are trustworthy just because they are employees or have been granted access to certain systems or data. 

In this blog post, we will compare zero trust architectures to traditional, perimeter-based security models and discuss the benefits of moving to a zero trust model. We will also provide tips on how you can start transitioning your organization to a zero trust architecture. Stay tuned!
