Digital transformation efforts, while not new, have taken on a new urgency and higher priority in the wake of the pandemic. Organizations are rushing to adjust their business models to offer customers the digital experiences they need while also enabling a global and disparate workforce. As organizations are shifting their projects and re-prioritizing their digital efforts, it’s important that they also rethink their approach to security. Users, data and resources are now spread across the globe making it difficult to connect them quickly and securely. 

Traditional security offered a clear perimeter to assess and enforce the trustworthiness of these connections, but the evolution of business has proven that ‘the perimeter’ is prone to weaknesses, so a new approach is needed.

Recent studies show that in average, organizations can take up to 272 days in Australia and New Zealand to identify that they have been compromised, and on average a single incident can cause a financial loss of almost 4 million dollars per incident and many months to clean up afterwards.

IBM Zero trust framework has emerged as an essential approach for businesses to take control over their security strategy. Zero trust ensures all data and resources are inaccessible by default and can only be accessed on a limited basis and under the right circumstances

To crack this code and share with me how to put IBM Zero Trust framework into practice, in this episode of #abiliotalks I will be talking with John Martin, Senior Security Architect & Security Practice Leader at IBM ANZ.
