The Evolution of Zero Trust: Past, Present and Future

While the principle of "never trust, always verify" has remained the same since the inception of Zero Trust almost two decades ago, the way that it is achieved differs based on changing technology. The Zero Trust model predated the digital transformation, cloud adoption, and shift to remote work - trends that would not have been possible without it. This idea, designed to protect modern digital environments, leverages network segmentation, helps prevent lateral movement, and simplifies granular user-access control by enforcing user authentication. Understanding the key concepts behind Zero Trust is crucial for securing your organization's network in today's day and age. In times where remote work and cloud adoption are on the rise, the perimeter is everywhere and adopting Zero Trust is especially important as it is not dependent on a location. With the individualized approach of Zero Trust, organizations can customize security for specific resources, users, applications and data. Achieving Zero Trust is neither as costly nor complex as often assumed as it is built upon existing architecture and does not require replacing technology. In this webinar, Perimeter 81 Co-founder and CEO, host Amit Bareket, will be joined by VP, Group Director Serving Security & Risk Professionals at Forrester, guest speaker Stephanie Balaouras. Together, they will explore how Zero Trust was conceived and what it entailed then, practical examples from the present day, and the vision for using Zero Trust moving forward. Perimeter 81 will also conduct a live product demo of the Perimeter 81 platform.
