Released: 02/18/2025
When people discuss Zero Trust, they often focus on how it can help protect data across an organization. However, they tend to forget how it can also help achieve compliant data privacy. Zero Trust thinking results in better management of identities that access sensitive data. It encourages access management at an application level, allowing for more granular controls. It also helps organizations adapt quickly to changing business scenarios in a rapidly shifting compliance landscape.

They're also about securing the data of people working in sensitive and critical jobs.
