Zero Trust 101: A Brief Guide Into the Future of Security
Develop a Robust Security Approach With Zero Trust It’s highly likely that you’ve already heard
Today’s cybersecurity landscape is so complex that businesses are always exposed to making some mistakes, some of which are huge. They include assuming you’re too small to be attacked, thinking it won’t cost much if you are attacked, being too trusting, not updating security software, and not staying up to date on the latest threats. But there’s one mistake that’s bigger than all the rest: not educating employees.
Here’s why: all the research, planning, knowledge, resources, tools, and software won’t make a difference if employees aren’t on board and educated about how to handle cyberthreats.

While most people know not to reveal data to unfamiliar people, not everyone does. And, even if they know that, they may not know what to do when they are in front of such phishing attempts. For the most robust cybersecurity possible, you must be able to count on employees to do the right thing when facing phishing, upholding personnel physical security protocols, running backups, updating their security software, and so much more.
Perhaps the second biggest mistake is making assumptions about cybersecurity that simply aren’t true. Here are a few that might sound all too familiar:
Another area where your company may be making cybersecurity mistakes is in its lack of procedures. Keeping your network secure takes work and diligence. Here are a few specific mistakes in this area:
When you’re ready to flesh it out, be sure to include things like getting visibility into your system to find out the extent of the damage, developing ways to access your backed up files, communicating with employees and customers, researching to find out how the breach happened so it doesn’t happen again, and appointing people responsible to call for help if needed.
Trust is a wonderful thing in business, but you have to know where trust ends and potentially opening yourself to attacks begins. Examine your level of trust in these important areas:
