Welcome to Cyber Security Today. This is the Week in Review for Friday, August 25th, 2023.
Terry Cutler speaks about Zero Trust. Below is a summary of what he talked about on the podcast
Zero Trust has garnered considerable attention recently due to its departure from the conventional security approach of trusting devices solely based on their location or origin. However, Zero Trust also presents numerous complexities, with the most significant challenge arising during the implementation of Zero Trust infrastructure within an organization. This process entails substantial complexity, necessitating the reconfiguration of existing infrastructure, introducing new security controls, and establishing stringent access policies. Such endeavours can be resource-intensive and may require the involvement of specialized experts to ensure correct setup. Naturally, this incurs significant costs for the company.
Moreover, compatibility issues may arise, particularly with older systems that might not seamlessly integrate into the new Zero Trust framework. When not executed correctly, the user experience is likely to suffer. Users already grapple with challenges like Multifactor Authentication (MFA), so having to authenticate multiple times throughout the day or a single session can lead to considerable dissatisfaction and frustration.

Additionally, the management of a Zero Trust infrastructure can impose substantial overhead due to the increased complexity. This complexity manifests in various forms, such as heightened network segmentation and the need for continuous monitoring. Managing potential false positives can also become a significant concern, potentially resulting in a considerable operational mess if not handled effectively.
