A Zero Trust architecture trusts no one and nothing. Traditional IT network security is based on the castle-and-moat concept. In castle-and-moat security, it is hard to obtain access from outside the network, but everyone inside the network is trusted by default. The problem with this ...
Dual firewall: Deploying two firewalls with a DMZ between them is generally a more secure option. The first firewall only allows external traffic to the DMZ, and the second only allows traffic that goes from the DMZ into the internal network. An attacker would have to compromise both firewall...
VPNs can hide a user's browser history, Internet Protocol address (IP address) geographic location, web activity and devices. Anyone on the same network can't see what a VPN user is doing. This makes VPNs a go-to tool for online privacy. However, VPNs don't provide total anonymity, ...
How Does A VPN Work? A virtual network keeps your data private using encryption, which turns your information into unreadable gibberish only decipherable using a key, which is known to your device. Different VPNs use somewhat different encryption processes, but the general process includes tunneling...
Moving to a zero trust security model means that no one is trusted—whether inside or outside the network. ZTN solutions continuously verify that each user and device can only receive access to the specific resources they need, being sensitive to the time, location, and nature of the activity...
So, what is a trusted internet connection? Simply put, a trusted internet connection is part of the mandate from the Office of Management and Budget that was meant to limit the number of gateways on the government network. TIC requires that all federal internet traffic be routed through an ag...
Automated Configuration backup: Network configuration backup is important to ensure your network devices are safe from security breaches and potential outages. Configuration backup enables you to overwrite a faulty configuration with a trusted version from the backup. You can also automate configuration bac...
What is the purpose of a certificate authority? The main goal of a CA is to verify the authenticity and trustworthiness of a website, domain and organization so users know exactly who they're communicating with online and whether that entity can be trusted with their data. When a CA issues...
Zero trust network access (ZTNA) is a set of technologies that operate on an adaptive trust model, where trust is never implicit.
Zero Trust networks prioritize the online security of an enterprise by eradicating the concept of a trusted-user. The network authenticates every incoming user's request to access the company's resources and places them in a secure bubble by limiting access to resources they actually need. The ...
