Zero Trust Security Model
Apprico’s Zero Trust security model is a modern, proactive approach to cybersecurity that ensures your organisation is protected against advanced and evolving threats. By adopting a “never trust, always verify” mindset, Zero Trust minimises the risk of unauthorised access, data breaches, and insider threats. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of Apprico’s Zero Trust approach and its benefits
What is Zero Trust?
Zero Trust is a security framework that assumes no user, device, or application should be trusted by default, even if they are inside the network perimeter. Every access request must be verified, authenticated, and authorised before granting access to resources. This approach is particularly critical in today’s environment, where remote work, cloud computing, and sophisticated cyberattacks are prevalent.
Key Principles of Zero Trust
Least-Privilege Access
- Users and devices are granted the minimum level of access required to perform their tasks.
- Reduces the attack surface by limiting unnecessary access to sensitive data or critical systems.
Continuous Authentication and Authorisation
- Users and devices are continuously monitored and re-authenticated to ensure access remains appropriate.
- This is especially important for remote workforces and dynamic environments.
Micro-Segmentation
- Networks are divided into small, isolated segments to prevent lateral movement of threats.
- If one segment is compromised, the attacker cannot easily access other parts of the network.
Real-Time Monitoring and Analytics
- Advanced tools, including machine learning and AI, are used to monitor user behavior and system interactions.
- Suspicious activities are detected and addressed promptly, ensuring proactive threat response.
Why Your Business Needs Zero Trust
Protect Against Insider Threats
- Zero Trust ensures that no one—inside or outside the organisation—is trusted by default.
- Mitigates risks from malicious or accidental insider actions.
Secure Remote Workforces
- With the rise of remote work, traditional perimeter-based security is no longer sufficient.
- Zero Trust ensures remote employees can securely access only the resources they need.
Mitigate Data Breaches
- Strong access controls and continuous verification reduce the risk of unauthorised access to sensitive data.
- Even if an attacker breaches one part of the network, they cannot easily move laterally.
Simplify Compliance
- Zero Trust helps organisations meet regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) by ensuring data is protected and access is logged.
- Provides clear audit trails and evidence of compliance.
Adapt to Modern Threats
- Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated, and traditional security models are no longer effective.
- Zero Trust provides a multi-layered, dynamic defense against evolving threats.
