Zero Trust is a very popular term today for security products. If you want to understand more about the technical aspects of the architecture, see my previous blog “Can Zero Trust Fix What’s Wrong with IT Security?”.
Now let’s look at the business benefits of Zero Trust Access.
Historically, it has been a challenge to translate the technical aspects of a new security architecture into business benefits for folks in the board room and C-suite. The chiefs have heard ad nauseum over the years about the features of the latest and greatest security solutions from champions on their team hoping to get the go-ahead to implement them.
But when it comes to actually articulating the business benefits, discussions quickly bog down into a muddling muck of “we’re at risk” or “there’s a threat.” That doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in those making the hard budget and security decisions. Still, who wants to take a chance? So in comes the latest magic bullet.
Honestly, there hasn’t been a strategic approach like Zero Trust Access for IT security architecture for two or three decades now. Instead, organizations for the most part have relied on the futile tactical approach of chasing every new threat with the latest one-off product.
Now organizations have far too many security solutions spread across their infrastructure – according to Cisco’s 2018 Annual Cybersecurity Report, 70% of security professionals say they use products from six or more vendors. That makes it hard for even the best-funded IT security team to truly, effectively manage.
Zero Trust Access doesn’t, and shouldn’t, replace all those solutions. At least not immediately. But it can provide a verifiable, strategic impact on your business, unlike the obsolete castle and moat approaches of legacy perimeter defenses that didn’t evolve to meet the security demands of the modern hybrid enterprise.
The emergence of a Zero Trust Access strategic approach is a critical inflection point in the history of IT security architecture – one that enables you to pivot and more holistically protect the valuable assets across your entire enterprise for the first time in decades. Here are the benefits you can highlight when making the business case for Zero Trust Access in the board room and C-suite:
As you can see from these business benefits, Zero Trust Access isn’t just another silver bullet for your IT security. It’s a much more effective strategic approach to protecting your infrastructure and helping your business grow – one that can pay off immediately and over the long term.
