Zero Trust

A New Way of Thinking

TDI Provides Zero Trust Implementation Expertise

Zero trust design philosophy is just that, a way of thinking. Palo Alto defines zero trust as a strategic approach to cybersecurity that secures an organization by eliminating implicit trust and continuously validating every stage of a digital interaction.

Zero trust involves using every method possible to verify the authenticity of an actor before engaging with them in any way. This lack of trust applies to the network interior as well, to prevent hostile lateral movement throughout the network thanks to a single weak point that gives an attacker a foothold. Since zero trust assumes malicious intent and verifies authenticity to the fullest extent possible, zero trust security relies on extensive identity management processes, strong authentication methods, network segmentation, and defense in depth to limit lateral movement throughout a network or system.
