Zero Trust Architecture
In an increasingly interconnected and digital world, an organization’s security strategy is vital to protecting its interests and infrastructure.
Zero Trust Architecture (Zero Trust) represents a strategic approach to cybersecurity to protect every element of an organization’s infrastructure and end users. Gone are the days of a one-dimensional, perimeter security approach, which relied on the assumption that everything inside a network should be implicitly trusted – opening the door to potentially malicious actors and activities that could exploit this single line of defense.
Based on the premise to “never trust, always verify,” Zero Trust is a holistic approach to verifying, validating, and monitoring virtually all aspects of IT security and digital touchpoints, including users, systems, devices, data, and applications, with both security and privacy in mind. As the cornerstone of our delivery approach, Dignari uses this model to help clients achieve greater maturity in their enterprise security posture while enabling digital transformation.
As the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) states: “an organization protects resources by defining what resources it has, who its members are (or ability to authenticate users from a federated community), and what access to resources those members need”
The path to Zero Trust is an incremental process, as depicted in the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model. And whether identity-based or device/gateway-based, Dignari applies these principles and practices to all aspects of systems integration, application development, and digital identity management. Our approach aligns with the NIST 800-207 Zero Trust Architecture, White House Zero Trust Principles memo, and Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity. At Dignari, we are dedicated to staying abreast of the evolving Zero Trust landscape to best serve our clients.
Protecting modern business infrastructure through risk segmentation, automation, and governance best practices—while enabling digital transformation—is at the heart of Dignari’s Zero Trust capabilities.
