Zero Trust
Zero Trust
What is it?
The principles of Zero Trust are never trust; always verify. The security framework mandates that before granting or maintaining access to applications or data, all users, whether inside or outside the organisation, must first be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated for security configuration and posture. This strategic approach to cybersecurity secures organisation by eliminating implicit trust and continuously validating at every stage of digital interactions.
Why now?
- Applications, data and services have moved from the datacenter to the cloud, making them easily accessible to attackers.
- The traditional method of prioritising network location known as the perimeter-based approach has now become obsolete, as more users now work from home and other locations away from the office. This means legacy security and visibility approaches that rely on resources and users to be located in the office are no longer effective in providing protection.
- The perimeter-based approach is also insufficient since it is very challenging to halt an attacker’s lateral movement after they have breached the perimeter.
- There is therefore an urgent need for organisations to scale and secure remote working.

Five Real World Scenarios
Secure Cloud
Secure cloud access on any device, on any network, from any location, on any cloud.
Eliminate the attack surface
Only authorised users are permitted to connect to the network and access specific applications on both managed and unmanaged devices.
Prevent initial compromise
Enable secure application access via a Zero Trust platform, rendering them undetectable to potential attackers.
Block lateral movement
Instead of trusting traffic from an internal network or a subnet, leverage a proxy architecture to connect users and workloads to applications and resources. Enables the enforcement of all policies wherever and whenever business users connect to technology resources across the entire IT ecosystem.
Stop data theft
Deploy granular controls over your cloud applications and greater visibility into unsanctioned cloud apps and software.
The solution powered by SmartServices:
Organisations can easily halt attackers at every stage of the ransomware lifecycle if their infrastructure is aligned with Zero Trust principles. Multiple layers of defence will still be in place if the organisational defence’s are ever compromised, preventing the malware from propagating or the attackers from exploring the victim’s environment.
• Ensures consistent visibility and protection for all enterprise apps and data.
• All resources are made private: no access to any resources unless through policy enforcement point per NIST 800-207 requirements.
• Prevents breaches and data loss.
• IPv6 support ensures users can connect from anywhere.
• Ensures a seamless move to the cloud with hybrid deployment support.
• Eliminates VPNs.
