Applied Zero Trust Is Active Security
- Identity as the perimeter: Verify every human and non-human identity before access using phishing-resistant MFA, conditional access, device health checks, privileged access controls, and business email compromise monitoring.
- Stops lateral movement: Enforce least privilege and segmentation with just-in-time access, role scoping, service-account rotation, and identity-aware micro-segmentation to contain breaches.
- Supports compliance: Map controls to NIST SP 800-207, CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model, and Microsoft Zero Trust; automate evidence (access reviews, attestations, and audit trails) to reduce compliance risk.
- Drives precision access control: Apply adaptive policies based on user risk, device posture, and behavior analytics; trigger step-up authentication and session re-evaluation when risk changes.
- Cloud attack surface: The top cloud risk is stolen tokens/passwords combined with excessive permissions. Mitigate with phishing-resistant MFA, conditional access, least-privilege baselines, just-in-time elevation, periodic access reviews, and detection of anomalous OAuth granting and token replay across SaaS and cloud.
