The Zero Trust Security Model for Business

It’s easy to distrust everything outside your company’s perimeter. But what about the people, devices, services, and networks within? Compromising trusted resources is a popular focus of cyber attacks, and protecting against this requires a multi-pronged approach.

Microsoft’s Zero Trust security models integrate security, compliance, identity management, and networking solutions into a tightly woven protective virtual mesh. Any access is explicitly verified, inspected for anomalies, and then monitored for risky or unusual behaviour patterns.

Learn how to utilise Microsoft solutions to protect your systems and respond to breaches quickly and effectively.
