ZERO TRUST NEWS
June 18, 2024
As part of NIST’s Zero Trust Model, there is often a strong focus and solution set for securing Person Entity (PE) to Non-Person Entity (NPE) access (also referred to as human-to-machine access). Zero-Trust (ZT) human access often happens through privileged access management(PAM) solutions, virtual private networks (VPNs), or identity-aware proxy (IAP) access. However, a similarly strong emphasis should be placed on securing machine-to-machine access and communications as part of the Zero Trust Model; the underlying assumption is to trust nothing and authenticate and authorize everything. |
