How to Achieve the NIST Zero Trust Approach with Unix & Linux Remote Access

When applying the granularity of privileged access management (PAM), zero trust can ensure all access is managed and documented for appropriate behavior. Today, this is a particularly important challenge to solve as so many IT administrators—like many other employees—are working from home networks and connecting via Wi-Fi. This environment presents heightened risks to highly sensitive Unix & Linux resources being connected to and remotely administered.

This white paper:

• Defines zero trust
• Dissects the security implications of Unix/Linux administration from home networks
• Presents the zero trust model developed by NIST
• Discusses the practical implementation steps of zero trust on Unix & Linux systems
• Highlights how BeyondTrust enables organizations to achieve zero trust on Unix & Linux systems
