Overview
The need to enable mass work from home has left many organizations looking for new approaches to IAM. Now is the time to assess how identity-centric Zero Trust models offer an effective strategic framework for transforming security schemes, and facilitating our users’ need for anywhere, anytime access to cloud applications and services.
During this session we’ll discuss:
• Limitations of existing perimeter security models
• The Zero Trust alternative:
• Benefits of Zero Trust
• How zero trust concepts can address the fast moving needs related to COVID, and the new ‘work from home’ normal
• The advantages of identity-centric zero trust for modernizing IAM schemes
