Zero trust: The next evolution in cybersecurity

As the number of connected devices continues to grow, so does the vulnerability of networks to cyber-attacks. The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has exponentially expanded the attack surface for cybercriminals. Traditional perimeter-based security models are no longer sufficient in this environment, leading to the adoption of a more comprehensive security framework: zero trust. What is zero trust? At its core, zero trust operates on a…
