Implementing Zero Trust Architecture: An Enterprise Guide

by Umair Akbar

Overview

Recognize the ways in which Zero Trust security can and should be implemented in your company. This book goes into the complexities of business settings and provides the practical principles and requirements that your security team will need to develop and execute a successful Zero Trust path while maximizing the value of your present enterprise security architecture. After reading this book, you will be ready to construct a credible and defendable Zero Trust security architecture for your company, as well as a step-by-step road to significantly improved security and operational efficiency.

Zero-trust security has become a popular business practice, but its ramifications are yet unknown. The goal of Zero Trust is to fundamentally change the underlying philosophy and approach to enterprise security by moving away from archaic and demonstrably ineffective perimeter-centric tactics and toward a dynamic, identity-centric, and policy-based approach.

It may be challenging to make such a transformation. It may be difficult to change direction if your company has already implemented and operationalized enterprise security assets such as directories, identity and access management systems, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and SIEM. Zero Trust Security is unique in its coverage of enterprise security and information technology architectures, providing valuable architectural support and technical analysis to help your company get to Zero Trust faster.

 

You will master the following:

• Understand why Zero Trust security concepts are important and why they must be implemented.
• Consider the security and operational benefits of Zero Trust.
• Make informed decisions about the best places, timeframes, and approaches to adopt Zero Trust security architectures.
• Determine the impact of your organization's and security architecture on the route to Zero Trust.
• Prepare to sketch out your road to Zero Trust while looking for measures that will enhance your company's security right away.
