The National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) explicates four essential principles for achieving Zero Trust security:
– considering all data sources and computing resources as valuable– ensuring that every form of communication is kept secure regardless of network location– providing access to individual enterprise resources on a per-session basis– regulating access to resources via dynamic policy
By adopting the Zero Trust model, enterprises can better safeguard their IT infrastructure and data against cyber threats.

Cloud computing is becoming popular among businesses; however, access management and visibility loss can be major security risks.
Increased access management
Zero Trust Security Policies provide a more tailored solution by tying identity directly to workloads so that protection follows the asset no matter its location or perimeter.
