Overcoming obstacles to introduce zero-trust security in established systems

In this Help Net Security interview, Michal Cizek, CEO at GoodAccess, discusses the crucial balance between leveraging distributed resources and maintaining top-notch security measures. With the growing remote work trend, Cizek highlights the importance of implementing a zero-trust security model, emphasizing the complexities and challenges of such an endeavor. How can organizations make the most of distributed IT resources while simultaneously keeping them secure? It has become a standard that an organization runs only a small portion of their IT services and infrastructure locally and the rest is offloaded to cloud and SaaS providers. Some go even further, and companies with no local network are not uncommon, something that was unimaginable few years back. There are several good reasons for that – cost optimization, scalability, reducing management and maintenance complexity, lack of skilled IT professionals. But it also adds complexity to IT security because no matter where the services your employees access are located, you are always responsible for protecting your data in transit and safeguarding access.
