The New Shape of Zero Trust
Data flows freely across networks, cloud apps, and AI tools — far beyond traditional perimeters. This infographic shows how organizations can apply core Zero Trust principles to protect assets wherever they live. Check it out to see how to continuously authenticate, enforce least-privileged access, and adapt with AI-powered insights. Contact Connecting Point for guidance on evolving your security model.
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity philosophy that operates on the principle that everything is a potential threat. It emphasizes continuous verification of user identities, limiting access to only what is necessary, and assuming that breaches may already occur. This approach is increasingly vital as data no longer resides behind traditional perimeters, making it essential to secure against both internal and external threats.
What are the key principles of Zero Trust?
Zero Trust is guided by three simple principles: 1) Verify Explicitly - continuously authenticate and authorize users; 2) Use Least-Privileged Access - limit user access to only what is necessary; and 3) Assume a Breach - treat every situation as if a breach has already occurred. These principles help enhance data protection and improve security measures in a flexible manner.
How can AI enhance Zero Trust security?
AI can play a significant role in enhancing Zero Trust security by identifying threats and risks more quickly and adapting security policies in real-time. It helps in classifying, labeling, and encrypting data effectively, as well as automating protection and security management across various environments, including on-premises and cloud infrastructures.
