Zero Trust Security Architecture

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. Akamai’s 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.

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

4. 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. • Akamai’s 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. Proactively identifying, blocking and mitigating targeted threats

5. Implementing a Zero Trust Access Model

6. Implementing a Zero Trust Access Model should be a core component of an organization’s 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. • Akamai’s 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.

7. 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. Ensuring that applications work quickly and seamlessly
