Zero Trust

Building a Zero Trust Framework

Identity-Aware Security at Every Layer

With the proliferation of digital identities in modern enterprises, it’s imperative to embed identity aware security at every security layer. This comprehensive approach ensures each interaction, transaction, and touchpoint is rigorously vetted, establishing a defense against identity-related breaches.

PBAC as the Enterprise Standard

Enterprises are adopting PBAC to standardize their access controls. Allowing security teams, business leaders, and developers achieve alignment, creating a unified security strategy that protects assets, streamlines operations and enables the business.

Security as a Business Enabler

Security isn’t just for defense,it’s a catalyst for business growth. Enterprises that embrace advanced security measures not only safeguard their operations but also accelerate innovation, foster greater client trust, and position themselves more competitively in the market.

All Roads Lead to Data

In our digitally-driven business landscape, every strategic move hinges on data. Protecting this vital asset is paramount. Enterprises are prioritizing the security of data access, fully recognizing that any vulnerability could compromise core business strategies and proprietary insights.

Traditional security methods have emphasized authentication, endpoint protection, and ZTNA-based network security, often leaving post-authentication to siloed teams and business lines. However, the true essence of Zero Trust lies in establishing trust throughout every step of the digital journey, highlighting the need for granular access control.

Zero Trust ensures every digital identity—human, device, or application—is continuously verified before granting access.
IAM and ZTNA address authentication and network boundaries, but alone they don’t ensure complete Zero Trust security.
Once an identity authenticates, Authorization determines what resources that identity can access, ensuring secure access to data.
All paths leads to data. PBAC provides a centralized way to manage and define access using contextual and risk signals.

Zero Trust FAQs

Learn More About Our Zero Trust Strategy

Zero Trust is a security model that assumes no entity (whether inside or outside the network) should be trusted by default. Every access request must be thoroughly verified before granting permission. In a Zero Trust architecture, access controls are highly granular, requiring continuous verification and authorization for every user, device, and data transaction. Implementing Zero Trust with PBAC ensures a tighter security posture by enforcing dynamic and context-aware access decisions based on a consistent set of security policies.

Authorization is a fundamental component of the Zero Trust security model. In Zero Trust, every access request must be authenticated and authorized based on strict, context-aware policies before access is granted, regardless of the user’s location or network. Authorization enforces these policies by evaluating the requester’s identity, their role, the resources they seek, and the contextual factors surrounding the request (e.g., time, device, location). With a solution like PlainID, enterprises can implement fine-grained, dynamic authorization policies that align with Zero Trust principles, ensuring that only authorized users gain access to critical systems and data. This granular control helps mitigate security risks and limits potential damage from breaches.

The principle of least privilege is a security concept that ensures users are granted only the minimum levels of access necessary to perform their specific tasks. This approach reduces the potential attack surface by limiting permissions, ensuring that users cannot access data or systems that are not essential to their roles. By enforcing least privilege, organizations reduce the risk of insider threats and accidental data exposure.

Authorization plays a crucial role in enforcing least privilege by dynamically controlling access based on predefined policies. With a centralized PBAC model, enterprises can define fine-grained policies that adjust permissions according to the user’s role, context (such as location or time), and risk level. By continuously evaluating these factors, PBAC ensures that users have only the access they need, thus minimizing the risk of security breaches and maintaining compliance with regulations.
