BENEFITS OF ADOPTING A ZERO-TRUST SECURITY ARCHITECTURE
Cloud environments are prime targets for cybercriminals looking to steal, disrupt or ransom valuable business data like personal information, intellectual property, and financial records. In this context, it’s crucial to understand that while no security strategy is flawless, the trust approach stands out for its effectiveness. Here’s why:
Reduced attack surface
Zero trust significantly shrinks the areas that cybercriminals can exploit in cloud and containerized environments. It does this by enforcing strict access control and validating network legitimacy continuously. This approach significantly reduces the likelihood of data breaches.
Precise access control
Zero trust provides granular control over who can access what in the cloud and container setups. This precision ensures that only authorized users or systems can reach specific resources, strengthening your overall security.
