One weak link in a chain is all that’s needed to topple a cyberdefense. Sometimes this comes down to an errant line of code in a hastily developed API, inadequate penetration testing, or old, unpatched, exploitable code hidden deep within a legacy system.

Effective cybersecurity demands a zero trust platform. Based on the whitepaper entitled Proactive Cybersecurity Beyond COVID-19: Understanding the Technical and Human Challenges in an Interconnected World, this blog discusses what cybersecurity professionals need to know about implementing zero trust architecture.
