Many organizations have discovered that traditional security models where everything inside the perimeter is implicitly trusted, does not work in environments where perimeters don\u2019t exist and enterprise data and the people accessing it are increasingly distributed and decentralized.<\/p>\n<p>A Biden Administration Executive Order in May 2021 that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/2021\/05\/12\/executive-order-on-improving-the-nations-cybersecurity\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">requires federal agencies to implement zero-trust security<\/a> has heightened interest across the board. In a survey of 362 security leaders that Forrester Research conducted last year on behalf of Illumio, two-thirds of the respondents said their organizations planned to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.illumio.com\/news\/press-releases\/forrester-trusting-zero-trust\" rel=\"nofollow\">increase zero-trust budgets<\/a> in 2022. More than half (52%) expected their zero-trust program would deliver significant, organization-wide benefits and 50% said it would enable safer cloud migrations.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"fakesidebar\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/3126746\/network-management\/what-it-admins-love-hate-about-8-top-network-monitoring-tools.html#tk.nww-fsb\">RELATED: What IT admins love\/hate about 8 top network monitoring tools<\/a><\/aside>\n<p>Cybersecurity vendors, sensing a big opportunity, have rushed to market an array of products labeled as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/3663011\/who-is-selling-zero-trust-network-access-ztna-and-what-do-you-get.html\">zero-trust technologies.<\/a> An informal survey that analyst firm IT-Harvest conducted of websites belonging to some 2,800 vendors showed 238 of them featuring zero-trust prominently. \u201cAfter the White House and CISA issued guidance to switch to a zero-trust approach, everyone wants to align with the concept,\u201d says Richard Stiennon, chief research analyst at IT-Harvest.<\/p>\n<p>The hype around these technologies has caused considerable confusion, prompting Forrester Research, the analyst firm which first introduced the concept, to clarify its definition for modern zero-trust earlier this year. \u201cFake news propagated by security vendors about Zero Trust caused confusion for security pros,\u201d Forrester said. \u201cZero Trust is an information security model that denies access to applications and data by default. Threat prevention is achieved by only granting access to networks and workloads utilizing policy informed by continuous, contextual, risk-based verification across users and their associated devices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here are five mistakes organizations need to avoid when implementing a zero-trust security strategy:<\/p>\n<aside class=\"nativo-promo nativo-promo-1 smartphone\" id> <\/aside>\n<h2>1. Assuming Zero-Trust is all about ZTNA<\/h2>\n<p>Implementing zero-trust network access (ZTNA) is critical to achieving zero-trust.&nbsp; But &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/3611530\/zero-trust-network-access-the-evolution-of-vpn.html\">ZTNA<\/a> alone is not zero-trust.<\/p>\n<p>ZTNA is an approach for ensuring that remote employees, contractors, business partners and others have secure, adaptive policy-based access to enterprise applications, and data. With ZTNA, users are granted access on a least-privileged basis, based on their identity, role and real-time information about their device security status, location, and a variety of other risk factors.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"nativo-promo nativo-promo-1 tablet desktop\" id> <\/aside>\n<p>Every access request to an enterprise application, data, or service, is vetted against these risk criteria and access is granted only to the specific resource requested and not the underlying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/3571453\/how-the-network-can-support-zero-trust.html\">network<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past two years, many organizations have implemented or begun implementing ZTNA as a remote-access replacement for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/3487720\/the-vpn-is-dying-long-live-zero-trust.html\">VPNs<\/a>. The sudden shift to a more distributed work environment because of the pandemic overwhelmed VPN infrastructures at many organizations and forced them to look for more scalable alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA major use case driving ZTNA is VPN augmentation or replacement, itself driven by a heretofore unseen scale of remote work,\u201d says Daniel Kennedy, an analyst with 451 Research, a part of S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>VPNs historically were about providing access to a corporate network rather than specific resources, which these days could be hosted anywhere. Backhauling traffic through a VPN and then back out to resources hosted outside of a corporate network is applying an unneeded step, Kennedy says. \u201cZTNA provides access on a more granular level and revalidates that access instead of only providing an authentication gate at the start of access.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"nativo-promo nativo-promo-2 tablet desktop smartphone\" id> <\/aside>\n<p>But ZTNA is only part of the zero-trust story.&nbsp; An organization can\u2019t credibly say they have implemented zero trust without having implemented either\u2014or preferably both\u2014privileged identity management and micro-segmentation, says David Holmes an analyst at Forrester Research.<\/p>\n<p>Forrester defines micro-segmentation as an approach for reducing the impact of a data breach by isolating sensitive data and systems, putting them into protected network segments and then limiting user access to those protected segments with strong identity management and governance.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to minimize attack-surface and limit fallout from a breach. &nbsp;Key to zero-trust is ensuring that users, including those with privileged access to admin functions, don&#8217;t get more access to apps and data that they need, Forrester says.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Confusing zero-trust with a product<\/h2>\n<p>There are many tools and products that can help organizations implement a zero-trust strategy. But don\u2019t confuse them for the strategy itself.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"nativo-promo nativo-promo-3 tablet desktop smartphone\" id> <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cA zero-trust philosophy is basically no longer extending implicit trust to applications, devices, or users based on their source,\u201d says Kennedy. Instead, it is about implementing a default deny\/least privilege approach to access with a continuous assessment of risk that can change based on factors like user or entity behavior for example, he says.<\/p>\n<p>When considering technologies for implementing the strategy, ignore the labels and look for products with capabilities that tie back to the fundamental principles of zero-trust as originally defined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTerms evolve, of course, as this one has,\u201d Kennedy says. \u201cBut they do come with connotations. So, associations with product approaches must be rooted in some realistic connection to the philosophy outlined.\u201d This means having technologies that support key zero-trust principles such as micro-segmentation, software defined perimeter and device integrity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest disconnect I see that is causing unmet expectations is confusing a zero- trust strategy or philosophy with a specific product implementation,\u201d Kennedy says.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Assuming you can achieve zero-trust without basic security hygiene<\/h2>\n<p>Deploying the right tools alone is not enough if you don\u2019t pay attention to the fundamentals, says John Pescatore, director of emerging security trends at the SANS Institute.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the operations side, the big mistake is thinking&nbsp;you can achieve zero-trust without first achieving basic security hygiene,\u201d he says. \u201cIf you can\u2019t trust endpoints to be configured securely and kept patched; if you can\u2019t trust identities because reusable passwords are in use; and if you can\u2019t trust software because it hasn\u2019t been tested, then achieving zero trust benefits is impossible,\u201d Pescatore says.<\/p>\n<p>Tools can help with the technological aspect of zero-trust security. But even with them, there\u2019s a lot of brainwork that cannot be avoided, says Forrester\u2019s Holmes. \u201cFor example, an organization still needs a cogent approach to data classification, and someone needs to audit employee and third-party privileges,\u201d Holmes says. \u201cBoth are non-trivial, and usually manual, tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>IT-Harvest\u2019s Stiennon says a good approach for organizations to take is to first identity and review areas within the IT infrastructure where protection is based on some form of trust. For instance, it could be an employment agreement when an organization trusts users to abide by its policies. Or it could be a contract or service level agreement with a cloud provider regarding how they would (or would not) use the organization\u2019s data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce you have identified those gaps start filling them in with technical controls,\u201d he says \u201cYou could monitor employees to see if they are complying with policy and certainly should be encrypting your data in the cloud so you do not have to depend on a provider&#8217;s good behavior,\u201d Stiennon says.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Having poorly defined user access policies<\/h2>\n<p>A zero-trust approach can help organizations enforce adaptive, policy-based access control to enterprises resources that considers a variety of real-time risk factors, such as device security, location and type of resource being requested. When implemented correctly, the approach ensures that users only have access to the specific resource they request, and in a least-privileged fashion.<\/p>\n<p>To do that effectively, security and IT administrators need to have a clear understanding of who needs access to what, says Patrick&nbsp;Tiquet, vice president of security and architecture&nbsp;at&nbsp;Keeper Security. That means enumerating all possible user roles and then assigning them based on job requirements and roles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZero-trust is really&nbsp;a simple concept: users are granted access to resources required to perform their job function and are not granted access to resources&nbsp;that are not required,\u201d Tiquet says.<\/p>\n<p>For example, he points to a shared network drive that everyone in a 10-employee company might have access to. The drive contains sales, HR, accounting, and customer information which everyone in the company can access regardless of role. \u201cThere is a high amount of risk of unauthorized access, loss of data, theft of data, and unauthorized disclosure,\u201d he says. \u201cProperly applying zero-trust in this situation would restrict access, but not impact productivity,&nbsp;while drastically reducing risk to the company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tiquet says it\u2019s best to stick with well-defined access roles initially and then assign or unassign new access roles to individual users as needed.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Neglecting the user experience<\/h2>\n<p>Zero trust models have a big impact on end-users, so don\u2019t neglect the user experience. \u201cAuthentication and access affect nearly all employees, so missteps are costly for CISO\u2019s,\u201d says Kennedy from the 451 Group.<\/p>\n<p>When zero-trust initiatives are rushed without adequately preparing users for change, employee productivity can be impacted. A botched initiative or one that impacts users negatively can also have a bearing on the credibility of the whole effort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe steps to success are well worn,\u201d Kennedy says. \u201cEstablish a desired end state for your zero-trust strategy, and methodically implement the different pieces with vendor partners,\u201d he says. Plan, executive and test carefully to ensure that any extra steps being required of users enable commensurate security benefits, he says.<\/p>\n<div class=\"end-note\"> <!-- blx4 #2005 blox4.html --> <\/p>\n<div id class=\"blx blxParticleendnote blxM2005 blox4_html blxC23909\">Join the Network World communities on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NetworkWorld\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/network-world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a> to comment on topics that are top of mind. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/3666948\/5-mistakes-to-avoid-when-implementing-zero-trust.html#tk.rss_security\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\nInterest in zero-trust security has heightened significantly over the past two years among organizations looking for better ways to control access to enterprise data in cloud and on-premises environments for remote workers, contractors and third parties.Several factors are driving the trend, including increasingly sophisticated threats, accelerated cloud adoption and a broad shift to remote and hybrid work environments because of the pandemic.
