Zero Trust Programs Stall Because of Outdated Assumptions

Every security program assumes that once a system is connected, the problem is solved, but this mindset is flawed and hampers Zero Trust adoption.

The article argues that opening a ticket, standing up a gateway, and pushing data through is insufficient to secure the environment. Zero Trust programs stall because they rely on this outdated assumption, leading to gaps in protection. New research, the Cyber360: Defending the Digital Battlespace report, surveyed 500 security professionals to quantify the issue. The findings reveal that many organizations still struggle to implement effective Zero Trust controls. The report highlights the need for a paradigm shift in how security teams approach connectivity and trust. It calls for rethinking Zero Trust strategies to avoid stalled programs and reduce exposure.
