"Zero Trust Rated as Highly Effective by Businesses Worldwide"

According to Beyond Identity, 82 percent of experts are currently working on implementing zero trust, and 16 percent plan to do so within the next 18 months. Over 90 percent of those working on zero trust cited the 2022 Federal Zero Trust Strategy as their primary motivator. Respondents were asked what authentication capabilities are necessary to attain zero trust. Fifty-three percent of respondents cited codeless capability as the most important element of a zero trust network. In addition, the respondents agreed that being passwordless and ensuring that each device satisfies certain security thresholds are almost of equal importance. Respondents viewed the maintenance of policy at each authentication point as equally critical to network security as protection against social engineering techniques. According to Jasson Casey, CTO of Beyond Identity, the findings of this study indicate that zero trust is the end goal now more than ever, and that it requires a concerted and coordinated effort to achieve. This article continues to discuss key findings from Beyond Identity's survey regarding the implementation of zero trust principles.
