The Zero-Trust Approach to Cybersecurity

Its time to move from a “Trust but Verify” approach to “Don’t Trust, Always Verify”

Authenticate not just Grant precise Single trust level for Micro-segmentation to Logging and monitoring
the user but also the network/application access from within and secure access & prevent of network traffic for
device access outside the perimeter lateral movement continuous visibility

Modern approaches like Zero Trust are swiftly becoming the preferred security paradigm for today's contemporary digital enterprise
