Zero Trust security is a security framework based on the assumption that every user, device, and IP address accessing a resource is a threat until proven otherwise and requires organisations to implement rigorous security controls to verify anything that attempts to connect to the corporate network. The rapid take-up of mobile, cloud, and hybrid work has urged organisations to replace increasingly redundant ‘castle and moat’ security models with more agile, holistic approaches centred on identity.
Half of organisations in Asia Pacific (50%) have implemented a Zero Trust security initiative, according to The State of Zero Trust Security in Asia Pacific 2022 report, commissioned by Okta and conducted by Pulse Q&A.
Out of those that have not embraced Zero Trust security, 38% said they plan to do so over the next six to 12 months.
