These days, threats can originate anywhere in your network. People have to do more and more to keep their networks truly secure. Continue reading for suggestions on how to use technology to build a Zero Trust security architecture.
secure the boundaries
Your first line of defense is important. Threats can easily come in from the inside, but it’s essential to protect your network perimeter before new threats can get in. The best way to do this is to keep unauthorized personnel off the network and set up a new set of powerful firewalls. There are multiple firewalls to choose from, from virtual firewalls to proxy-her firewalls. That way, if threats that can’t be removed already exist in your network, you can deal with them without worrying about introducing additional threats.
go to cloud
The cloud is one of the most important tools for file sharing, but it can also pose problems because it can be accessed from various, not necessarily secure, locations across network boundaries. For these reasons, you might think you can’t secure your cloud, but there are some hybrid cloud security solutions you can consider to keep your cloud secure. Ideally, you should find the best solution for yourself while implementing your current security features. This way, you can increase the security of your cloud without spending too much money.
Restrict access between departments
While it is understandable to want to establish a system that is easily accessible to all departments, some methods of doing so are not always the most secure. There are many ways to create a system that is accessible across your business without compromising security. A common practice is to isolate each department so that files in each department cannot be easily accessed by other departments. This way there is less chance of data being compromised overall and incidents can be better isolated.
For example, if one department has a breach and all departments are isolated from each other on the network, data from other departments is safe and you don’t have to worry about losing them all at once. You are more likely to recover stolen data and identify those responsible for the breach.
No guest access
Some companies allow guests to access their networks. Especially if the guests are from third-party companies who are coming to fix technical issues. There is a possibility. If the violation is from a guest, there may be no way of knowing who was responsible. Requiring everyone to have a unique user ID and password and to change their passwords frequently avoids such problems. If an employee is terminated or terminated, that employee’s access to the network must be terminated immediately. If you need paperwork from your account, it’s better to have the files emailed to you than to keep them on the network, as there will be no reason to access company data.
Adopt Zero Trust Security
Establishing proper Zero Trust network security can seem like a daunting task, but when done right, it’s worth it. Keep this article in mind as you start establishing a Zero Trust security architecture to reduce breaches and keep your data as secure as possible.
