Insurers have raised the bar on qualifications
Cybersecurity precautions are critical to the safety and security of your organization, but they’re also critical if you need cybersecurity insurance – and you do. But to get or maintain coverage, you need to prove your data is highly secure. Gone are the days of “taking your word for it.” Today, insurers look for specific solutions aligned with a zero trust architecture as conditions of receiving coverage.
What is zero trust?
A zero trust security strategy isn't focused on securing the perimeter --it's based on securing the identity. This is a credential user, who by default, is not permitted to see or do anything whether in or outside of the organization's network. Users must be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated before being granted access to applications and data. In short, a zero trust security strategy trusts no one.
Zero trust and identity management
Whether or not you’re actively involved in procuring or extending your cybersecurity insurance coverage, the solutions that come together to create a robust zero trust strategy are security best practices. Rooted in identity and access management (IAM), zero trust requires identity management, authentication, access management, and continuous monitoring to create checkpoints, requiring authorization and authentication at the access point of applications containing sensitive data.
