Building IAM on a Foundation of Zero Trust to Increase its Effectiveness
Zero trust is an essential requirement for getting an IAM right, and identity is at the heart of zero trust. CISOs must adopt a zero-trust framework thoroughly and proceed as though a breach has already occurred. (They should be mindful, though, that cybersecurity providers frequently exaggerate the possibilities of zero trust.)
According to CrowdStrike’s George Kurtz, “Identity-first security is critical for zero trust because it enables organizations to implement strong and effective access controls based on their users’ needs. By continuously verifying the identity of users and devices, organizations can reduce the risk of unauthorized access and protect against potential threats.” He says that“80% of the attacks, or the compromises that we see, use some form of identity and credential theft.”
