PROOF for Zero Trust
Implement a Security Engine to overcome the threats to zero trust from technology and software.
Zero trust is an approach to cybersecurity designed to minimize uncertainty in providing access to networks, data, and infrastructures. Access is at the center of every major decision in a zero trust model, but the login processes and credentials used for access are undermining its success.
Today’s login processes were built for access, not security. Zero trust accepts credentials to verify users within the network – passwords, one-time passcodes, keys, or device-based authenticators. The credentials available today are ultimately generated and/or controlled by the user, not the enterprise, leaving employees, customers, and partners responsible for the safety of the enterprise. Virtually every credential currently in use vulnerable to low-cost attacks, which means they are being used by criminals, including those that drive multi-factor authentication (MFA) and identity access management (IAM) solutions – fundamental components of zero trust.
