The modern IT network has no boundaries. It is now safer to assume that your network has been breached by a successful phishing attack, an open port, a disgruntled employee or a zero-day vulnerability, as examples. It is therefore now essential to make the intruders ability to navigate your network as hard as possible. The best way to do this is to secure every part of your network, every device and every user through independent authentication, preferably using multiple factors. This is zero-trust networking, and every enterprise should be using this as the starting point for its security.
​
Zero trust networking replaces increasingly vulnerable passwords with multiple factors (MFA) which are easier for users too. Users sign-on once (single sign-on, or SSO) to get fully-authenticated access to all of the applications they have access to.
