Implementing Zero Trust Practically & Effectively Requires PAM: Here’s Why

Zero trust principles and architectures are being widely embraced and adopted by the public and private sectors – and for good reason. Legacy security architectures and network defenses are simply ineffective at managing a world more reliant on the cloud and remote workers. As a result, adherence to zero trust principles has been embraced as the most effective defense strategy to the modern, hybrid, work-from- anywhere world.

To implement zero trust, teams must assert which technologies and configurations can be implemented with tenets that meet theoretical requirements. NIST has published SP NIST 1800-35 on implementing Zero Trust (circa October 2022) to bridge that gap. Today, solutions exist that can address both the theoretical and practical requirements of zero trust – including BeyondTrust Privileged Access Management.

Watch this session to learn:

• Why Zero Trust is more than a buzzword when it comes to preventing cyberattacks
• What organizations need to know to distinguish Zero Trust as a concept from a functional Zero Trust Architecture
• How to build a strategic and achievable pathway to Zero Trust
• How Privileged Access Management (PAM) can enable Zero Trust
