Zero Trust

What is Zero Trust?

A zero-trust model is a security framework that strengthens an organization by eliminating implicit trust and requiring strict user and device authentication across the network. Trust is created depending on context (e.g., user identification and location, the security posture of the endpoint, the app or service being requested) with policy checks at each stage, following the zero trust principle of least-privileged access.

According to NIST, “Zero Trust provides a collection of concepts and ideas designed to minimize uncertainty in enforcing accurate, least privilege per-request access decisions in information systems and services in the face of a network viewed as compromised.“

Zero Trust is a philosophy, not a product!

Zero Trust is a cybersecurity paradigm that focuses on resource protection (e.g., services and data) and the notion that trust is never granted implicitly but must be reviewed on a regular basis. Aspire Tech cybersecurity solutions deliver safe collaborative environments while ensuring constant user happiness and experience.

What is Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)?

NIST defines Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) as “an enterprise’s cybersecurity plan that utilizes Zero Trust concepts and encompasses component relationships, workflow planning, and access policies. Therefore, a Zero Trust enterprise is the network infrastructure (physical and virtual) and operational policies that are in place for an enterprise as a product of a Zero Trust architecture plan.

What is Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)?

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is the application of the Zero Trust concept and ideas to network access to apps and associated data, recognizing that people, applications, and data will not reside on a single trustworthy network. The technique entails an efficient assessment of the user's whole situation and context, the device, the requested resource, and the overall security posture.

Benefits of Zero Trust

Increased data access visibility

The Zero Trust strategy improves visibility into how data is accessible by individuals, workloads, and devices.

image

Reduce attack surface

By continuously monitoring and assessing all access requests to protected information and assets, the Zero Trust strategy helps limit the attack surface of system breaches.

Aspire Tech cybersecurity solutions within Zero Trust concept

Manage user identities

Your users' identity lifecycles evolve swiftly, and their access requirements are always changing. Users should have easy access to the programs and information they need to do their daily jobs more efficiently. However, you must still guarantee that only authorized individuals have access to the appropriate resources.

How do you strike a balance between security and efficiency?

  • Trusted digital identities (PKI) Provide your consumers with a personal and trusted identity (solution available as an appliance).
  • Identity Governance and Administration Manage digital user IDs across numerous sites while also streamlining access policies (also accessible as a service).

Secure and simplify access from anywhere

Discover solutions that will enable your business to manage the lifecycle of identities and access while meeting the requirements for logical access, multi-factor authentication, identity federation, and universal single sign-on (SSO).

To ensure users are well protected without hampering their daily activities, flexible security solutions should be implemented.

  • Web access management With adaptive multi-factor authentication, you can protect your system from illegal remote access.
  • Enterprise single sign-on Use a single authentication to replace user passwords without jeopardizing security policies.
  • Operating systems for smart cards Smart cards can be used to support secure functions such as system login, secure email, digital signatures, and web authentication.

Gain more visibility and control over your data

Users are no longer restricted to the boundaries of their organization. Every day, people use several cloud services and applications while working from anywhere and with any device.

In this environment, how can you be certain that your sensitive data, whether at rest or in transit, complies with the company's security requirements?

  • Data encryption Encrypt sensitive data on all mediums to ensure complete protection (virtual machine, database, workstation, applications, etc.).
  • Data governance services Perform data classification to determine where your data is housed and how the existing security is configured.
  • Cloud access security broker (CASB) Control and enforce data privacy and compliance regulations throughout shadow IT and sanctioned cloud apps.
