Zero Trust Privilege For Dummies

Cyber breaches are bigger and worse than ever. Hardly a day goes by without headlines about some new devastating cyber attack. To better protect against data breaches, the use of a Zero Trust model has returned to the spotlight and seen huge growth in adoption. Instead of using the traditional approach of “trust, but verify,” the Zero Trust model implements “never trust, always verify” as its guiding principle.

There are many starting points on the path to Zero Trust. How-ever, all roads still lead to privileged access management (PAM) using identity-based access controls as the lowest-hanging fruit. Hackers don’t hack in anymore — they log in using weak, default, stolen, or otherwise compromised credentials. So, until organi-zations start implementing identity-centric security measures, privileged account compromise attacks will continue to provide a perfect camouflage for data breaches.

Under a Zero Trust Privilege strategy, you implement PAM to strictly govern and control just-in-time privileged access by verifying who is requesting access, verifying the context of the request, and limiting admin rights. This “never trust, always verify, enforce least privilege” approach eliminates implicit administrative trust, providing the greatest security.
