Cybersecurity professionals are all too familiar with the challenges in establishing a successful security strategy. According to a recent survey from the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), the top factors that make cybersecurity management and operations more difficult are:
- An increase in remote workers
- Greater, more sophisticated threats
- More IoT devices and cloud applications
Unfortunately, many organizations are still relying on systems built with implicit trust in mind. Once something is inside the network perimeter, it can move laterally, unchecked. The solution is Zero Trust. It is an increasingly strategic and essential part of any organization’s cybersecurity defense framework, according to ESG.
This white paper from ESG explains why, and addresses the key issues remaining with Zero Trust, how to establish priorities, and Akamai’s Zero Trust approach.
