Zero Trust: Beyond The Smoke And Mirrors
Solutions Review, Friday, June 9,2023
Approaching zero trust - with all its supposed silver bullets, best practices, analyst perspectives, and vendor promises - can feel like walking into a hall of mirrors. What's real? What's not? Who's full of it? Who actually knows what they're talking about? Where are we on our zero-trust journey?
Despite misleading marketing, a lack of transparency into the available technologies, the limited scope of the technologies themselves, mounting privacy concerns, as well as a complete question mark when it comes to price and deployment, trust in zero trust remains. Organizations know they need to embrace it- and preferably yesterday.
But the Wild West days are slowly fading into the twilight. It's a new day, and IT security professionals are smarter, savvier, and have a new set of expectations when it comes to adopting and implementing zero-trust security strategies.
