The looming threat of cloud and network security risk exposures has compelled organizations to actively bolster their data systems and cyber resiliency now more than ever. In response to the growing ineffectiveness of network perimeter defenses, businesses have increasingly turned to a “Zero-Trust approach” to strengthen defenses against sophisticated cyber-attacks. Zero-Trust is a rising security model that restricts access control to a wider environment by eliminating implicit trust, without sacrificing performance and user efficiency. In a recently issued executive order, President Biden endorsed Zero-Trust as the blueprint for a more secure future, mandating the security architecture for all governmental entities.

While these developments present opportunities for organizations to level up their cybersecurity programs, businesses should be aware of the unique considerations that come along with implementing a Zero Trust model.

Tune in on May 24, 2022, as a panel of distinguished IT professionals organized by The Knowledge Group, provide a comprehensive discussion of the Zero Trust approach. Speakers will offer practical tips and strategies appropriate for businesses to manage security threats.
