How public sector agencies can solve Zero Trust challenges and break down silos with a unified data layer In the evolving and complex cyber landscape, the Zero Trust approach is instrumental in addressing both internal and external threats. It's a comprehensive strategy rather than a single solution, demanding the orchestration of multiple components to be genuinely effective.

Cyber threats are evolving and are one of the reasons why data breach costs increase each year, and traditional security models are struggling to keep up. As businesses embrace cloud computing and working remotely, the old "trust but verify" approach is proving inadequate, leading to the increased adoption of zero-trust policies. But is Zero Trust widely accepted? The answer is increasingly yes. So, how does Zero Trust work, and what makes it so effective?

For the second year in a row, TMCnet, a global, integrated media company, has recognized WatchGuard EPDR + Zero-Trust Application Service with a Zero Trust Security Excellence Award. The award recognizes the leaders and pioneers in the zero trust industry offering the most innovative and effective solutions.

The Zero Trust Security Framework is a fundamental approach to digital security. It assumes that every user and device is untrusted, requiring continuous authentication. This model helps to protect against the growing number of cyber threats. In this article, we discuss its principles, benefits, and real-world applications.

Our journey with GitHub proxy support began with an internal challenge: securing our most critical repositories against unauthorized acess. As a company that manages infrastructure as code, including sensitive systems like Hardening Okta with Terraform, we needed an ironclad solution to lock down acess to our codebase. The problem was that traditional authentication methods like SSH keys and Personal Access Tokens (PATs) left our repositories vulnerable to unauthorized access.

Some traditional security methods are no match for evolving cyber threats, which is why zero trust is an essential addition to every organization’s arsenal. Unlike perimeter defenses, zero trust secures access at every level, verifying every device and user continuously to create a security posture that is far harder to penetrate. Gartner reports that 63% of organizations now use a zero trust strategy, a shift driven by the rising costs and frequency of successful breaches.
