Team,
Following up on some of our discussion on the "value" of Zero Trust. Here is an interesting blurb supported by IBM's data...
Six Ways to Secure Your Organization on a Smaller Budget (securityintelligence.com)
3. Move to a Zero Trust Approach
Many companies mistakenly assume that a zero trust approach is expensive, but the opposite is true. IBM's Cost of a Data Breach 2022 report found that organizations that employ zero trust realize 20.5% lower costs for a data breach than those not using zero trust. Even adopting a partial zero trust approach reduces the cost of the breaches.
The traditional practice of securing the perimeter is time-consuming, costly and not very effective. By assuming all devices, users and applications are not authorized until proven otherwise, you can more efficiently use your resources. Because zero trust relies heavily on automation, your team has fewer manual tasks to perform. This, in turn, lets them focus their time on high-value tasks.
Be well,
