Zero Trust means never taking anything or anyone at face value whether inside or outside your network. Every access request is verified, ensuring every user, device, and service is who or what it claims to be.
Zero Trust isn’t a novel concept; it’s been around for a while, but it gained traction when the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defined it as the new standard for U.S. government IT. In today’s dynamic IT landscape, where services are distributed across multiple systems, a static firewall simply doesn't suffice. Instead of relying on outdated perimeter security, Zero Trust constantly verifies every access request.
With Zero Trust, security works in the background by ensuring every access attempt is checked, reducing vulnerabilities, and keeping your job running smoothly, so you can focus on your core business.
Integrating security checks directly into the development process allows teams to catch issues early. This provides developers with feedback early in the development process.
Addressing vulnerabilities early ensures that misconfigurations don't make it into production, significantly reducing security risks by tackling problems before they become significant.
Our monitoring tools keep your systems secure and compliant, while we quickly adapt them to any new threats.
Key Principles of Zero Trust
Every user, device, and service must always prove its identity and integrity, to ensure maximum security for your organization.
Access is granted strictly on a need-to-know basis, with only the necessary permissions and for as long as needed.
Assume that an attacker is always present in your network, by monitoring for unusual activity and being ready to act fast on alerts. This is especially important with tighter regulations like DORA and NIS2 pushing for improved security and automation.
Traditional security approaches are no longer able to keep up with today’s dynamic IT landscape, which comprises mixed environments of private and public cloud services, remote work, and an ever-evolving application landscape. Zero Trust protects every access point, ensuring security, compliance, and agility.
Zero Trust is a strategy, not just a checklist. Continuous verification and adaptive controls minimize breaches and downtime, delivering robust security without disrupting business operations. At Adfinis, we make Zero Trust straightforward and practical so that you can operate securely and with confidence.
To implement Zero Trust, it is required to use live credentials for each interaction. A flexible approach to achieving this between services is establishing a trust relationship between the services and authenticating each request using a JSON Web Token (JWT), which contains proof that the originating request is valid. This allows the application on the receiving end to verify the proof, solely based on the trust relationship between services and the additional proof contained in the JWT.
Traditional security no longer keeps up with today’s dynamic IT landscape of cloud services, remote work, and evolving applications. Zero Trust protects every access point, ensuring security, compliance, and agility.
More than just a checklist, Zero Trust is a strategy. Continuous verification and adaptive controls reduce breaches and downtime, providing strong security without disrupting business. At Adfinis, we make Zero Trust straightforward and effective, so you can stay secure and focus on building great solutions with confidence.
