Traditional security models operate under the assumption that everything inside the organization's network should be trusted. However, automatically extending trust to any device or user intentionally or unintentionally puts the organization at risk and becomes compromised. That is why many security leaders are turning to a zero-trust approach to identify, authenticate, and monitor users and devices, both on and off the network.

A zero-trust strategy shifts the fundamental paradigm of open networks built around inherent trust to one that delivers on the zero-trust principles by:

-          Knowing who is on the network

-          Knowing what is on the network

-          Providing on-net and off-net protection

-          Enforce application access management
