Zero Trust Starts With Identity Management

As we race to implement Zero Trust architectures, identity and access management is becoming far more important than ever before. At the core of the Zero Trust model is moving authentication and authorization closer to the systems and data that need to be protected and modeling allowed access to control and limit usage. All this means users and systems will need to re-authenticate and re-authorize frequently and across the enterprise and against consistent identities and policies from IDAM systems. The goal is to limit lateral exploitation and escalation via differences to protection levels and policies, and have a central location to view and administer governance across these. To help bootstrap this journey, we will discuss some of the best practices for integrating and using user and system identities in Zero Trust systems.
