Zero Trust architecture in the era of AI

Instead of assuming everything behind the corporate firewall is safe, the Zero Trust model assumes breach and verifies each request as though it originates from an open network. Every access request is fully authenticated, authorized, and encrypted before granting access.

Endpoints

Apps

Discover shadow IT, ensure appropriate in-app permissions, gate access based on real-time analytics, and monitor and control user actions with AI-powered, unified SecOps.

Data

Move from perimeter-based data protection to data-driven protection, use intelligence to classify data, and encrypt and restrict access with information protection, and governance.

Infrastructure

Use telemetry to detect cyberattacks and anomalies, automatically block and flag risky behavior, and employ least-privilege access principles with comprehensive cloud security.

Network

Ensure that devices and users aren’t trusted just because they’re on an internal network. Encrypt all internal communications, limit access by policy, and employ microsegmentation and real-time threat detection with Azure networking and network security services.
