Zero Trust Will Fail If You Keep Making These Common Mistakes

The most disciplined zero-trust initiative is only as strong as its weakest link. Unfortunately, the typical digital infrastructure is replete with weak links caused by infrastructure and application vulnerabilities and misconfigured cloud services. Gartner Research recently predicted that “through 2025, more than 99% of cloud breaches will have a root cause of customer misconfigurations or mistakes.” Now that we know where to start with zero trust, we should be able to move quickly to address vulnerabilities and mistakes and mitigate risk. Right? Wrong. It's never that easy. But if we understand where our weak links exist and if we effectively prioritize risk and mitigate self-induced vulnerabilities, we'll have a shot at effective zero trust. This presentation was originally recorded for the SC Media Zero Trust eSummit. Watch to learn how to avoid the top mistakes that will compromise any zero-trust initiative. Do zero-trust on a secure foundation to minimize your attack surface across new and distributed attack surfaces, and to improve visibility into the assets you’re tasked to protect.
