Implementing Zero Trust Data Security
Businesses require a data security solution that can fulfill 21st century enterprise objectives. This can be achieved through a unified policy platform that combines zero trust, automation, prevention, smart audit and cloud-native operations.
The unified policy platform should focus on these key areas:
- Policy Governance – Users author security policies that are automatically enforced across the entire organization, with approval workflow, policy rollback and audit features
- High Performing Policy Engine – Dynamically evaluates access requests against attribute-based policies and prevents unauthorized access
- Application-native Enforcement – Policies are implemented by comprehensive enforcement solutions across different data enclaves, from files to databases, through native integration
- Cloud Deployment – Integrates with existing cloud infrastructure and business processes
