ABSTRACT
This is an introduction to the Zero Trust Framework and Privileged Access Management and how the two can work together to be of prime benefit to the business.
Thus, the only way to guarantee that a business or an individual can be mitigated as much as possible from a security breach is to take extreme measures of all kinds. One such example of this is known as the “Zero Trust Framework”. In this methodology, absolutely nobody or anything is to be trusted in both the external and internal environments. People simply cannot use their passwords anymore to gain access to the resources that they need to conduct their everyday job functions.
This is a far cry from the traditional approaches, which were called the Perimeter Defense Model. With this kind of methodology, a business was surrounded by just one layer of defense in a circle. Although this would have been heavily fortified, if the Cyberattacker were to breakthrough, they would then literally have free reigns over all of the digital assets of the company.
In this regard, the Zero Trust Framework can totally supersede the Perimeter Defense Model, with all of the internal layers of security that it consists of. Although the Zero Trust Framework is, once again, viewed as extreme, this is what is needed today to thwart Cyberattackers to the greatest degree possible.
Thus, the primary goal of this book is to review the Zero Trust Framework and how it can be possibly deployed even at your organization, along with Privileged Access Management.
