Zero Trust Security: Mastering the Weakest Link

The Security Strategist

Zero Trust architecture is a modern security approach that enhances protection by focusing on network segmentation and granular access control, moving away from traditional perimeter defences. This model helps prevent breaches and limits the spread of threats within a network.

While transitioning to Zero Trust can be challenging, it can be implemented gradually without disrupting existing systems. Future advancements may include a software bill of materials to verify the integrity of the code used within the network.

In this episode, William Malik, advisor at Lionfish Tech, speaks to Paulina Rios Maya, Head of Industry Relations at EM360, about Zero Trust architecture, security breaches and network segmentation.

Key Takeaways:

• Zero Trust architecture eliminates the concept of a perimeter and focuses on network segmentation and granular access control.
• Transitioning to the Zero Trust model can be done incrementally without disrupting the entire environment.
• The future of Zero Trust security may involve implementing a software bill of materials to ensure the veracity of the code being used.
