Zero-trust architecture
It goes without saying that understanding zero-trust implementation is important to ensure the hardware root of trust is not breached and to ensure device integrity when we start architecting an organization’s digital layout (including IT, OT, and IoT).
Zero-Trust Architecture (ZTA) is a strategy to gain the best possible security where nothing is trusted. It’s a method for developing and putting into practice the following set of security principles:
- Verify explicitly: Always use the most up-to-date data points to authenticate and authorize.
- Use least privilege: Use data protection, risk-based adaptive rules, and just-in-time and just enough access (JIT/JEA) to restrict user access.
- Assume a breach: Minimize an attack’s blast arc and divide the access area. Use analytics to drive threat detection, gain awareness, and strengthen defenses while verifying end-to-end encryption.
