You can’t rely on your network perimeter to separate trusted insiders from untrusted outsiders.
Standing privileges and broad access rights invite data breaches and cyberattacks.
Zero trust reduces cyber risk and lowers the chance of a data breach by 50%.
How do you achieve a zero-trust vision?
Zero trust requires multiple security controls to protect and manage identities, devices, networks, applications, and data. Identity security capabilities, such as privileged access, verifying identities, multi-factor authentication (MFA), continuous authorization, and enforcing principles of least privilege are essential.

Verify who is requesting access
Zero trust requires a shift from implicit trust to explicit trust that is gained through multiple forms of user and device verification. To achieve this, you must establish and manage unique, low-privilege identities for all users who require privileged access, including IT administrators and workforce users, and machine identities such as applications and services. It’s also critical to enable just-in-time access and enforce MFA at depth for identity assurance.

Limit and secure privileged accounts
Vaulting privileged accounts and automatically rotating credentials removes risk quickly and easily.
Enter Privileged Access Management (PAM), a key component of a modern identity security strategy. Using centralized policy engine, you can govern and secure the account lifecycle.

Eliminate broad, standing privileges on servers
Never grant human or machine identities broad, standing privileges that provide server access. Instead, provide only the needed level of privilege to perform specific tasks—and only for as long as necessary. It’s also essential to limit privilege elevation to approved, time-bound actions to prevent privilege elevation on servers.
Continuously authorize access to critical resources
Enforce least privilege on workstations
Monitor and audit everything
Continuous monitoring is a critical security control in a zero-trust model. You must have oversight of all privileged user activity and be able to record, review, and document everything.
