Zero Trust: Charting a Path to Stronger Security

As organizations and cyber risks evolve, security models need to keep up. Zero Trust can help you build a multi-layered security strategy that adapts to the modern environment.

The traditional approach to security

 — defined perimeters separating trusted from untrusted network zones — has proven to be inadequate as organizations engage in digital transformation and embrace edge technologies. Today’s enterprises require a new approach to verify the right levels of security and accessibility for systems and data. Increasingly, Zero Trust is being hailed as the solution. But what is Zero Trust and what's needed to successfully implement it?

In this whitepaper, Mark Ryland of AWS and Ashish Rajan of the SANS Institute dive deep into the viability of Zero Trust as a modern enterprise security model. Download the whitepaper and learn how to kickstart your Zero Trust journey.
