Zero Trust Maturity Model (1)

1
Zero Trust Network Security and Maturity Model to
Protect Enterprise Data, Wherever Users and
Devices are
2

• Zero trust security has become the need of the
  hour as users, devices, applications and data are
  moving outside of the enterprise perimeter and
  zone of control, away from the traditional data
  centers. Trust and verify is no longer an
  option, as targeted advanced threats are moving
  inside the corporate perimeter.
• A zero trust network security model is based on
  the philosophy that no person or device inside or
  outside of an organization should be granted
  access to connect to IT systems or services until
  authenticated and continuously verified. Akamais
  zero trust network security model relies on
  strong authentication and authorization for every
  device and person before any access or data
  transfer takes place on a private network, no
  matter if they are inside or outside that network
  perimeter.

A zero trust network access security model relies
on the below principles

• Every user on a network is always assumed to be
  hostile
• External and internal threats exist on the
  network at all times
• Network security is not sufficient for deciding
  trust in a network
• Every device, user and network flow is
  authenticated and authorized
• Network security model policies must be
  calculated from as many sources of data as
  possible

Proactively identifying, blocking and mitigating
targeted threats

• A zero trust network security model by Akamai
  ensures network trust and thwarts malicious
  attacks. IT teams need to proactively identify,
  block, and mitigate targeted threats such as
  malware and ransomware, and advanced zero-day
  attacks for users. Zero trust network security
  model can improve security postures while
  reducing the risk of malware.
• Akamais zero trust network security model is
  itself a strategy, so too is its deployment. The
  best approach to reaching a zero trust maturity
  model would be to start with a single use case,
  or vulnerable user group, for validation of the
  network security model.

Implementing a Zero Trust Access Model
6

• Implementing a Zero Trust Access Model should be
  a core component of an organizations security
  transformation. Using multiple clouds for
  corporate applications be it private, public or
  hybrid, can reduce costs, enable flexibility, and
  accelerate digital transformation. But a
  multi-cloud reality also creates complexity and a
  lack of visibility, exposing an organization to
  risks. Third-party contractors, partners and
  remote workers, all benefit, and even accelerate
  a business.
• Akamais edge-delivered, identity-aware access
  can tackle a variety of use cases, like
  eliminating the traditional VPNs (Virtual Private
  Networks) that open a business to risks, and
  empower it to deliver applications to users
  whenever and wherever they need it, safely and
  securely.

Ensuring that applications work quickly and
seamlessly

• While considering a security architecture
  transformation, a business should benchmark its
  starting position to identify areas of wins and
  measure zero trust maturity model as it evolves.
  With a zero trust maturity model, an organization
  would have application-layer access and defenses,
  network infrastructure isolation, internet
  traffic visibility, and threat detection. To be
  competitive, businesses need Zero Trust network
  architecture to protect enterprise data, wherever
  users and devices are, while ensuring that
  applications work quickly and seamlessly.
