Ransomware can not only cause financial damage to your company, it can also impact reputation, especially if you have Intellectual property, Protected health information, and financial data.

Spyware, ransomware and malware are not only attacked from the Internet, they can also be manifested internally by phishing attacks, your defense must encompass guards on perimeter and inside.

Each user, each client, must be treated as an island, a compromise on one client shouldn’t impact other sensitive data in the rest of your environment.

Zero trust security practices can help guard against such attacks, US DoD has recognized the importance of this architecture to help protect the country against external and internal threats:

Zero Trust has following building blocks

A continues device posture evaluation, authentication and authorization of users are validated before allowing access to application and data, the solution must encompass baselining, alerting and remediation
Malware can easily spread in a flat network, like a wildfire, access to network must be checked against the identity and should only grant a granular access to intended application vs a traditional access to the entire corporate network
Identity and Access management is a key component for Zero Trust architecture, it needs to ensure MFA are checked for critical and sensitive application, this adapted practice should also account for sudden change for user behavior, a user logged in from Network York shouldn’t appear from China at the same time.
