Zero-trust segmentation platform provides attack surface visibility across on-premises and cloud

Betsy Amy-Vogt — Wed, 07 Sep 2022 20:06:18 +0000

The “castle-and-moat” security model, where everyone inside a perimeter was assumed to be trusted, has been abandoned in favor of zero-trust security, where verification is required from all devices and parties operating inside and outside a network. The shift has been swift and almost total. In 2019, only 16% of companies had zero-trust security initiatives […]
