Zero Trust: How To Implement It To Your Business?

What is ZeroTrust?

Zero Trust security means that no one from inside or outside of an organization is trusted by default to have access unless verification method is completed. Zero Trust is a method to secure business networks and infrastructure. This tool helps companies in different aspects by securing data for remote workers or hybrid environments and ransomware threats.

Moving to a zero trust model gives organizations many benefits like stronger access controls and streamlined security operations. It’s also the preferred architecture under many industry regulations.

6 Tips For Implementing Zero Trust:

1. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for every user. Identity and access management (IAM) is the foundation of zero trust security, and 2FA is the cornerstone. It also stops 9% of cyberattacks.
2. Maintain an access control policy. Start with identifying sensitive data and systems, then prioritize access to them. Almost 90% of employees said that they still had access to their former employers’ sensitive company data.
3. Make access control easy with single sign-on (SSO). This is a multi-benefit tool that makes it easier to add and remove access to applications and data and maintain regulatory compliance.
4. Only store passwords in secure password vaults. Enhancing security for all passwords is a good idea, but it’s especially important for privileged administrator or executive credentials.
5. Dark web monitoring helps stop credential exposure.The average organization has 17 sets of username and password logins exposed on the dark web.
6. Invest in security and compliance awareness training. When users are armed with the knowledge they need to understand security, they make fewer mistakes and take policies more seriously.

As the result of zero trust, your organization can ensure that all access is met with the highest form of security. Paul Jackson and the rest of dedicated team from Jackson Technologies can help your organization set up or upgrade your existing cybersecurity service.
