Stages of Implementing Zero Trust

Although each organization’s needs are unique, CrowdStrike offers the following stages to implement a mature Zero Trust model:

·        Stage 1:Visualize – understand all of the resources, their access points, and visualize risks involved

·        Stage 2: Mitigate – detect and stop threats or mitigate impact of the breach in case a threat cannot be immediately stopped

·        Stage 3: Optimize – extend protection to every aspect of the IT infrastructure and all resources, regardless of location while optimizing the user experience for end-users, IT, and security teams

For a detailed breakdown of each stage, including goals and best practices, read our article on  How to Implement Zero Trust in 3 Stages.

EXPERT TIP

When you invest in a Zero Trust solution, can that solution reduce security complexity, save money, and reduce time to identify and remediate breaches? The answer is a resounding ‘YES’! Watch this webcast to explore real-life use cases for Zero Trust that affect your profit margin

and overhead to support the whole program. How to Maximize ROI with Frictionless Zero Trust.

Why Crowd Strike for Zero Trust?

The best Zero Trust solutions need to offer a frictionless approach to Zero Trust  through:

·        Security for the most critical areas of enterprise risk  to stop breaches in real-time for any endpoint and cloud workload, identity, and data. They should adhere to the NIST 800-207 standards, and maximize Zero Trust coverage across your hybrid enterprise, to secure and enable people, processes, and technologies that drive modern enterprise security, with built-in protection for high-risk areas such as identity and data.

·        Hyper-accurate detections and automated protection  ensuring a FRICTIONLESS ZERO TRUST journey for organizations of any size. Deploy Zero Trust faster and in phases, with just two components – the single lightweight-agent sensor and the administrative dashboard. Reduce the load on security operations center (SOC) analysts with automated protection and remediation, and enhance user experience with adaptive conditional access.
