Identity-based Zero Trust continuously monitors all access requests from all users to any resource in the system, whether on-premises or in the cloud, and creates a thorough audit trail to ensure compliance and policy enforcement. Every time an individual user, human or machine, attempts to access a resource, a risk analysis is performed based on the user’s session behavior and other contextual parameters.
, an identity-based Zero Trust architecture enforces the organization’s access policy in real time, either requiring additional multi-factor authentication before allowing access or simply denying the user access. For example, if a user attempts to access a SaaS application, they are typically verified by the cloud provider’s identity and access management (IAM) system and granted access to all of the company’s SaaS applications. Identity-based Zero Trust verifies users each time they attempt to access a new application in that cloud, continuing to collect audit information.
Identity-based Zero Trust provides a number of benefits that kenya mobile database it easier to implement, manage, and secure. This model does not require rebuilding or replacing any parts of the system infrastructure, meaning no downtime and reduced costs. Once deployed, it provides greater visibility by performing risk analysis at every resource access attempt, rather than at the network segment level. Most importantly, by auditing security at every resource access, anomaly and threat detection are improved, increasing the organization’s security posture.
