As more employees work remotely on a variety of devices and networks, businesses need a security model that supports this new operational efficiency. An expanding perimeter poses challenges for organizational security, exposing your company to risks from malware and data breaches from IT devices that are unknown and unsafe.<\/p>\n

To adapt to the realities of modern work, the principles of Zero Trust<\/a> have been rapidly adopted as a security best practice by businesses and security professionals alike.<\/p>\n

A pillar of the Zero Trust framework is based on assuming devices are breached until they are explicitly verified as trusted.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This applies particularly to mobile devices, as employee-held smartphones are increasingly infected with malware, targeted by phishing attacks, or exploited due to vulnerable software and configuration. These threats on untrusted devices that access company data result in businesses suffering from cyberattacks and data breaches. <\/em>By embracing the principles of Zero Trust, businesses can better manage these risks and secure themselves against mobile-borne threats by ensuring that only trusted devices have access to company data.<\/p>\n

With ever-more mobile devices accessing company networks, information, and cloud apps, customers need to be able to automatically control access to cloud apps based on the security status of a smartphone or tablet\u2014whether it\u2019s personal- or corporate-owned.<\/p>\n

So Traced developed Trustd MTD to provide simple, fast, and robust Zero Trust access to those Cloud Apps for Microsoft customers. Trustd\u2019s integration<\/a> with Microsoft Azure Active Directory<\/a> (Azure AD), part of the Microsoft Entra product family<\/a>, helps customers achieve compliance and mitigate the growing business risks of cyberattacks and data breaches originating from company and personal mobile devices.<\/p>\n

This means that customers can:<\/p>\n
