APPLICATION-CENTRIC SECURITY / ZERO TRUST

Insider Incidents Up ~50%

The volume of incidents due to insiders continues to rise.
More than half are due to negligence vs malice.
“The Real Cost of Insider Threats in 2020”, Ponemon Institute “Zero Trust”

75% Don’t Focus on Prevention Zero Trust Models are Needed

A balanced approach to the entire security lifecycle is “Organizations should not automatically trust anything inside
required. Prevention, Detection, Containment, and Recovery. or outside its perimeters…”
