Zero Trust Networking

In a Zero Trust model, trust is a privilege that has to be earned, repeatedly. It’s a simple but profound rule: assume that every user, every device, and every connection is potentially hostile until verified otherwise. Unlike traditional security that trusts the network perimeter, Zero Trust keeps your data safe by continuously verifying each access request. It’s about making sure that only the right people and devices get the right level of access, every single time.

The Issue

Imagine a network like a “castle-and-moat” system: anyone who’s made it inside the walls is considered safe. But today, that outdated thinking leaves businesses vulnerable, with attackers capitalising on gaps and trusted network access. Zero Trust rejects this open-door policy, focusing instead on rigorous, ongoing verification for every access point, user, and device—ensuring that no one is given a “free pass” to your data or systems.

Why it Matters

In a world where one weak link can sink an entire business, Zero Trust helps you avoid becoming the next cautionary tale. Remote work, cloud services, and mobile-first access have blurred traditional perimeters, making old-school security models a liability. Zero Trust strengthens your defenses by ensuring that every access attempt is checked and only the essential permissions are granted. It’s about safeguarding your data—and ultimately, your reputation.

What it Looks Like

  1. Assumed Internal Trust: Once inside the network, all devices are assumed safe.
  2. Unlimited Remote Access: Employees logging in without strict identity verification.
  3. Weak VPN Protocols: VPN access is too broad, lacking granular control.
  4. Third-Party Access: Vendors or contractors have more access than needed.
  5. No Segmentation: Without clear network zones, threats can move freely.
  6. Unmonitored Devices: Lacking control over device security or compliance.

What the Benefits are

  1. Safe Browsing: Public Wifi is now much safer as your device won’t allow any connections.
  2. Huge uplift in security: Reducing your attack surface by blocking anything from devices that haven’t been approved.
  3. Reduced Spread: If there is an infection breakout, reduce the chances of it spreading heavily.
