What is Zero Trust Cybersecurity?
2
Introduction
The Zero Trust cybersecurity protocol considers
each device connected to a network a threat until
it is verified. Every devices credential is
verified, and only then is network access
provided. Zero Trust cybersecurity becomes
essential in an environment where a single
deceitful device could cause significant
disruptions. From an insiders perspective, we
have provided a detailed guide on Zero Trust
Cybersecurity, including critical information on
advantages, errorless implementation, and staying
ahead of next-gen changes in cybersecurity.

Understanding Trustless Cybersecurity
5
The primary philosophy behind trustless
cybersecurity is Guilty until proven innocent.
It uses a protocol where every device connected
to a network must establish its credentials
before it gains access to network resources. It
supposes that every device connected to the
network is potentially harmful. In modern
cybersecurity scenarios where even stakeholders
are turning malicious, Zero Trust Cybersecurity
aims to eliminate all points of unverified access.

Core Principles of Zero Trust Cybersecurity
7

• Every user is continually validated by a
  background check once every defined interval.
  Some checks also map user activity with past data
  to detect changes in behavior.
• Suppose a user logs in from New York and breaks
  the session. The same user also logged in from
  Singapore 15 minutes later. Such activity is
  bound to be malicious.

Evolving Threats
9

• The Europol report states that criminals could
  use newly evolving threats such as deep fake
  technology to create an exact clone of original
  credentials, including facial recognition and
  voice recognition, and commit CEO fraud. CEO
  fraud involves generating a video image of a CEO
  using deep fake technology to request money or
  investments.

The Need for a Proactive Approach
11

• Zero Trust Cybersecurity is a proactive approach
  because it does not rely on traditional methods,
  which are triggered only during or after an
  incident. Rather it takes a multi-layer constant
  verification approach toward identifying
  stakeholders before granting them access to
  system resources. Moreover, even if an attacker
  gains access to the system, it limits their
  access to contain the damage.

Advantages of a Zero Trust Cybersecurity
13

• 1. Minimizing Attack Surface
• As discussed above, even if a malicious actor
  gains access to system resources, their activity
  is limited continuously depending upon their
  caused damage.
• 2. Secure Remote Workforce
• Security for a remote workforce becomes a tough
  challenge because each connection type is
  different, and login locations are spread
  worldwide. Even if unauthorized password sharing
  occurs, the Zero Trust model can detect this and
  restrict access.
• 3. Continuous Verification
• Each stakeholder is continually verified based on
  their past activities to ensure that people are
  acting in good faith. Further, if an unusual
  activity takes place, it can be authenticated
  simultaneously.
• 4. Simplify IT Bills and Management
• A zero-trust model is based on automated
  evaluation and therefore frees up the need for
  additional staff or resources. Not every login
  has to be multi-layer authenticated. Only
  suspicious activity needs verification.

Implementing Zero Trust Cybersecurity
15

• Preparation
• Assess the current security landscape
• Identify and prioritize critical assets and data
• Determine the scope and scope of the Zero Trust
  implementation
• Identity and Access Management
• Establish a robust authentication and
  authorization process
• Implement multi-factor verification
• Standardize user identities

How to stay ahead of the curve?
17

• Staying updated with the latest information is
  highly essential in a landscape where threats are
  based on advanced technologies themselves. To
  secure your systems with the highest level of
  security, schedule a free consultation with

Conclusion
19

• Zero Trust cybersecurity is an approach where
  each access to the system resources is
  authenticated and continually monitored. Usage
  patterns are analyzed to identify suspicious
  behavior and simultaneously authenticated. Any
  unauthorized access is restricted based on
  perceived threat levels.
• The model has several benefits for companies
  working with a remote workforce. Continuous and
  automated verification helps reduce the workload
  of humans and save resources and, therefore, can
  reduce bills.
