Cybersecurity is undergoing a massive shift

Cybersecurity is undergoing a massive shift with zero trust emerging as the new gold standard for robust protection. However, with constant breaches in the headlines, most managed service providers (MSPs) feel ill-equipped to guide clients through zero trust implementations.

The traditional security relies on the concept of a secure perimeter to protect an organization's network, granting trust to anyone inside whereas

Zero trust - This new approach assumes breach and continuously verifies every access request, regardless of location or network origin.

Zero Trust security is an IT security model that requires strict identity verification for every person and device trying to access resources on a private network, regardless of whether they are sitting within or outside of the network perimeter.

This core principle emphasizes constant verification of identity and access, even for those within the network perimeter. Where the users and devices are granted only the minimum level of access needed to perform their intended tasks, limiting potential damage in case

of a breach. The security posture is constantly monitored for anomalies and suspicious activities.

Zero Trust represents a significant shift from traditional approaches that relied on a secure perimeter as the primary defense. It addresses the growing complexity and fluidity of modern digital environments, offering a more robust and adaptive approach to security.

The prevalence of breaches in the news highlights the limitations of traditional security methods, creating urgency for better solutions. Many MSPs lack the expertise or resources to guide clients effectively through the implementation of a complex security framework like zero trust.

By acquiring the necessary knowledge and expertise in zero trust, MSPs can become trusted advisors and differentiate themselves in the market.
