Zero Trust – How to protect your network and data
The “Zero Trust” model is not exactly how it sounds. Trust is given, but only to those who need it to do their jobs. Using the Zero Trust model can help to eliminate data breaches within your organization.
Zero Trust, a term coined by tech firm Forrester, is a data protection model the lives and dies by the motto: “Never trust, always verify.” Many companies feel like this security model is too difficult or too expensive to implement, but following a few key steps will get you well on your way to a zero trust security model and reduced risk of a security breach.
- Analyze: What is the data that needs to be protected on your network and/or within your organization? Once you know what needs to be protected, you can analyze how best to do so.
- Review: Who needs access to what information to do their job?
- Secure: Only allow access to certain information by people who need it to complete daily tasks. If information is not needed on a regular basis, consider granting temporary access.
- Monitor: Monitor network activity to ensure there is no malicious or unneeded activity.
