This time, I found an article from the Germany's Federal Bureau of Information Security and it was about Zero Trust.
I have to say that Zero Trust used to be a lot more prominent in the Corona years, between 2020 and 2022 than it is now.
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity framework designed to address the limitations of traditional perimeter-based security models.
Oh, if you didn't read the article on cybersecurity framework, go there and give it a try.
In the past, companies would rely on firewalls and trust the inside network while treating the outside as a potential threat.
Zero Trust, on the other hand, assumes that threats can originate from both inside and outside the network.
Before granting access every user, device and application attempting to access network resources must go through a verification process.
Users and systems should only have access to the resources, for their tasks; nothing.
The network is split into separate sections to limit the spread of threats.
Constantly observing and analyzing network activity, user actions and system well being, in time.
Access permissions can adjust dynamically depending on the users actions, device security status and contextual factors.
Zero Trust is not exclusive to any industry or company size.
It can be implemented by any organization looking to enhance its cybersecurity posture.
Whether you're a business or a multinational corporation Zero Trust can be tailored according to your requirements.
Due to the COVID 19 restrictions, all companies had to increase the reliance on cloud services, implement remote work, and proliferate mobile devices, which resulting in an expanded traditional network perimeter.
The COVID 19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of work rendering traditional network perimeters ineffective.
There is nothing new here, the same steps apply as to any other cybersecurity framework and ISMS. I will not go into details about it, just go back and read these articles on ISMS and NIS2.
Implement strong user authentication methods, verify their identities before granting access.
Segment your network into smaller zones to limit lateral movement in case of a breach.
