Entrust #2: Rethinking Enterprise Security with a Zero Trust Approach

About this opportunity

Organizations around the world have transitioned to working from home in past months, and this transition has challenged advanced security models and user behaviors in a COVID-19 world. A significant number of users discovered that poor technology and/or infrastructure was the biggest barrier to effective remote working. As we speed towards the new normal of hybrid workplaces, organizations are reviewing their business continuity plans and restoring productivity to pre-covid times. Cybercriminals are getting smarter; work from home has expanded the enterprise perimeter; and the digital ecosystem is growing rapidly including new cloud applications. A significant part of IT Security effort is to ensure appropriate infrastructure and tools for their employees as well as top of the line cyber hygiene controls. Therefore, companies need a cyber security strategy that is consistent and crosses their on-premises perimeter. “Never trust, always verify”, is the bedrock of Zero Trust. With a Zero Trust model, every request to access information/data must be authenticated, authorized, and encrypted before permission is granted. It is not a product but an enterprise cybersecurity plan to protect its resources. In this session the participants will learn about: o Enterprise challenges in Zero Trust implementation o How Zero Trust responds to different risk factors o Ways to secure enterprise Hybrid environment o How Entrust's high assurance IAM solution helps in achieving Zero Trust
