Protecting digital assets is becoming harder and harder, for one alarming reason: most organizations have poorly prepared for the deluge of cloud-based applications and other online services. With this explosion of information availability, the potential for data breaches continues to grow exponentially.

Cybersecurity today must extend beyond simply protecting on-premises data. With the ever-increasing desire to access applications from any network, from anywhere, cybersecurity must also safeguard the data traversing among cloud applications, data centers, and end-point devices. The cost of failing to do so is potentially huge. According to a recent study sponsored by IBM, the average cost of a single data breach is over $3 million.

To neutralize these risks, one new approach that has been gaining momentum is the “zero-trust” model. Originally conceived by Forrester, major corporations like Google have adopted various forms of zero-trust cybersecurity. If implemented properly, zero-trust has the power to transform the industry.

• Is zero-trust security destined to become mainstream?
• Will a micro-segmentation security strategy offer enough protection?
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of not trusting anyone by default?
