6 steps to greater IT Security with Zero Trust
A guide on how to implement the Zero Trust security architecture in your organisation.
Overview
This is why security experts recommend Zero Trust
We used to be reliant on firewalls to protect companies from threats. For IT managers, there was a clear line of defence with "inside" and "outside" borders. In addition to increasingly intelligent attacks, social engineering or zero-day exploits, hybrid network boundaries today also ensure a highly complex IT security situation.
The Zero Trust approach helps CIOs and security managers to meet these challenges. The concept focuses on protecting sensitive and critical data. Zero Trust takes into account today's heterogeneous infrastructures with a multitude of devices to be protected and it treats every access, every application, every device with the same level of care - whether internal or external.
In other words: "Zero Trust" trusts no one and relies on constant monitoring".
What does that mean exactly? In the following six steps, we will show you how to implement Zero Trust in your own organisation and thus ensure comprehensive protection of business-critical data.

Extract from the first 3 steps
-
1. Step: Assessment
For the first step, it is important to define the organisational framework. To do this, several questions must be answered as precisely as possible:
- What should be protected and why?
- Where are these digital and physical assets located - in the cloud or on local servers?
- Which data is classified as public and which is highly sensitive?
-
2. Step: Discovery & Inventory
Next, all data is visualised in an inventory in order to identify further security-relevant aspects and potential weaknesses. The inventory includes all connected hardware, software and operating systems.
-
3. Step: Prevention measures
The possible measures to eliminate cyber threats from the outset and to ensure data integrity are numerous. Some of the most important tools are:
- Hard disk and file & folder encryption
- Device control
- Application control with whitelisting
- Identity & access management
