Zero trust: From aspiration to rapid implementation

Zero trust is the need of the hour

The widespread adoption of cloud, remote working, and rising cybercrimes have made every device vulnerable to cyberattacks. Organisations have now realised that the traditional security model is no longer enough. Cyber defenses need to be ramped up to be more dynamic and context-based to protect their assets. Zero trust has now become an essential cybersecurity philosophy.

Moving to zero trust has organisation-wide ramifications

Embracing a zero-trust approach to security requires a robust cybersecurity governance model that feeds into operating models and principles, architecture and design, processes, and technology. This calls for a change in organisational behavior; a lot of moving parts need to work together to ensure that technology implementation aligns with business goals.

A clear roadmap is essential to turn your zero-trust vision into reality. If there is no commanding vision of the ultimate destination, costs are likely to mount, with a strong possibility of compatibility issues. Also, legacy systems, merger and acquisition scenarios make zero-trust implementation challenging.

Roadmap to implementing zero trust

Capgemini’s end-to-end methodology for zero trust implementation helps organisations implement zero trust in a way that aligns and supports their business goals.

We recently helped a large pharmaceutical group with over 150 locations globally and over 20,000 users to deliver zero trust as part of a larger infrastructure re-design. Using an end-to-end process, we streamlined global technical infrastructure for internal application access, simplifying ongoing management. This transformation led to the optimisation of operating expenses and capital expenditures and a friction-free user experience.
