It’s time to rethink our approach to security.
Cloud applications, and the mobile workforce have redefined the security perimeter. Employees are working remotely, and bringing their own devices. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has now added to the strain of securing your organization. The pandemic has forced many businesses into supporting a primarily home-based workforce.
During these challenging times, it is vital to ensure your organization is not only working, but collaborating securely. Network-based security is no longer adequate to secure organizations against potential threats.
A new security model must be adopted to enable the mobile workforce and protect identity, devices, applications and data wherever they are located. Each request made by a user or service is properly authenticated, authorized, and protected with encryption end-to-end. This is the basis for the “Zero Trust” security model. Zero Trust teaches us to “never trust, always verify.”
The Guiding Principles Incorporated:
- Verify explicitly
- Use Least privileged access
- Assume compromise
With that in mind – Microsoft has identified 12 key tasks to help security teams implement the most important security capabilities, as quickly as possible. These tasks work to secure six foundation elements: identities, devices, applications, data, infrastructure and networks.
