A sprawling attack surface means you can’t just optimize reactive threat defense. You must implement more proactive cyber risk discovery, assessment and mitigation.

Expose and Prioritize Risks for Better Decision Making

Threat actors have become stealthier and more sophisticated, utilizing complex techniques to compromise devices and spoof identities. This allows criminals to spread attacks laterally throughout an organization’s network to steal sensitive data and often demand a ransom for its retrieval.

Security is Job Zero

This changing threat landscape means that beginning your cyber health journey no longer begins and ends by simply installing a cybersecurity product. IT teams need to adopt a zero trust strategy. While there is “inherent trust” organizations instill on their architecture, zero trust prohibits attackers from piggybacking on that institutionalized trust.

Employing a Zero Trust Strategy

This approach helps your IT teams thwart attackers by limiting access to resources and only allowing access via trusted, verified devices. Employing a zero trust strategy requires continuous and in-depth monitoring of devices and a sufficient level of identity health.

Addressing the Needs of Zero Trust

As most modern access control solutions perform only cursory posture checks and only perform this duty during the initial connection, you require greater visibility and insight into risks to transform a “trust strategy” into a zero trust strategy.
