Implementing Zero Trust Architecture
Zero Trust architecture is recognized as a best practice for cybersecurity, emphasizing a deny by default strategy. This approach requires organizations to reassess their environments, particularly when retrofitting existing systems, as simply applying zero trust principles to a legacy framework without proper planning can lead to significant challenges. Industry experts caution that introducing exceptions, such as allowing PowerShell or other applications, can undermine zero trust efforts if not managed correctly. A comprehensive evaluation of software and access levels is essential to ensure security while maintaining operational efficiency.
