Four requirements for a zero trust branch
Effectively navigate the complex and ever-changing demands of security and network connectivity
Traditional branch network architectures rely on implicit trust. This expands the attack surface to the furthest branch location and subsequently allows cyberthreats to move laterally throughout the organization.
By adopting a zero trust approach at the branch, enterprises can fortify their networks against threats and streamline connectivity for users, IoT/OT devices, and applications across diverse locations.
Download this eBook which outlines the four requirements for architecting a zero trust branch:
- Ensuring zero trust principles for your network
- Securing IoT/OT devices in your branch locations
- Supporting direct-to-cloud paths for SaaS/Internet traffic
- Enabling consistent user experience for in-office and remote employees.
