At Red Hat, our mission is to design, adopt, and promote the use of zero trust architectural patterns. This approach takes the place of implicit trust with the principle, "never trust, always verify." The last several years have seen a rapid increase in the number of devices across organizations’ networks that are decentralized and need improved security and management. This creates internal and external risks because much of what used to be housed in offices is now in employees’ homes and running on their personal networks. At the same time, domestic and international cyberattacks are increasingly common. With many disparate tools, devices, and processes, a zero trust framework is needed to help department leads and cybersecurity professionals manage different networking environments, coordinate, investigate and respond, and work toward unifying these tools, devices, and processes. Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform can help to stitch these tools and processes together through automation.
