The state of zero trust transformation, 2023
From prevention to enablement: Leveraging the full potential of zero trust for the highly mobile and cloud-centric enterprise


Enterprises worldwide are racing to speed up innovation while becoming more agile and competitive. To do that while securing users, workloads, and devices in modern environments, IT leaders agree they need to rethink legacy networking and security approaches. The answer is a zero trust architecture.

This tells us enterprises need to widen their lens to see the wealth of transformation opportunities zero trust supports beyond security: empowering hybrid workers, fostering emerging technologies like IoT/OT and 5G, and so much more.
