We are in the midst of a massive paradigm shift in security deployment – one that goes beyond defense-in-depth. Zero Trust builds on the concepts of “don’t trust anyone” (least privilege), “divide and conquer” (network segmentation) and “who-are-you-where-are-you-and-what-are-you-accessing” (risk-based) access.

And your new perimeter? It’s Identity. And it can strengthen network, application and data protection.

Dive deep into this and more. Optiv’s Field Guide #6: Zero Trust Guiding Principles includes:

An introduction to Zero Trust
Optiv’s core Zero Trust principles
How to visualize your Zero Trust journey

You’ll come away with an understanding of how to explain Zero Trust frameworks to your peers and strategies for using it in your organization.
