How Zero Trust Changed The Course Of Cybersecurity
Security Intelligence, April 17th, 2023
For decades, the IT industry relied on perimeter security to safeguard critical digital assets. Firewalls and other network-based tools monitored and validated network access. However, the shift towards digital transformation and hybrid cloud infrastructure has made these traditional security methods inadequate. Clearly, the perimeter no longer exists.
Then the pandemic turned the gradual digital transition into a sudden scramble. This left many companies struggling to secure vast networks of remote employees accessing systems. Also, we've seen an explosion of apps, APIs and IoT devices all clamoring to connect to networks. And from a security standpoint, the disappearance of the perimeter represents unprecedented challenges.
