A survey has revealed that while most organisations have a vision of zero trust or are in the process of implementing zero-trust initiatives, more than half of the mob cannot translate this “vision” into the solutions they are implementing because they lack some basic core fundamentals of zero trust.
The FortiGuard Labs Threat Landscape Report “Global State of Zero Trust” said that there was an increase in the volume and sophistication of attacks targeting individuals, organisations, and increasingly critical infrastructure.
Organisations are looking for solutions to protect against these evolving threats and zero trust is top of mind, but for multiple reasons. Additionally, the shift to work-from-anywhere has put a spotlight on zero-trust network access (ZTNA) in particular, as organisations need to protect important assets from workers connecting from poorly protected home networks.
The report illustrates some confusion about what comprises a complete zero-trust strategy. Respondents indicated they understand zero trust (77 percent) and ZTNA (75 percent) concepts and over 80 percent reported already having a zero-trust or ZTNA strategy in place or development.
