Starting in 2019, when the pandemic broke out, network security system security that had been considered optimal for many years was broken. Businesses must upgrade to remote security for the system to ensure normal operation with a zero trust security model. But in 2022, attacks have become more powerful, infiltrating and stealing business data. Will the zero trust security model still be effective for cybersecurity threats in 2022?

Cyber security attack 85% of cybersecurity incidents result from incidents that involve an element of human error, and with the pandemic shifting workplaces beyond the confines of traditional office spaces, organizations around the world are now lack the visibility into employee activity that they are accustomed to. At best, this has a knock-on effect on productivity.
At worst, this makes organizations even more vulnerable to cyber criminals. 1.1 Increase attack surface Remote working means there is a sudden increase in attackable surface area, employees are now accessing sensitive data from multiple locations on multiple devices, and traditional perimeters have now become faint. A stolen or lost laptop, not encrypted or password protected, can give unauthorized Costa Rica Telemarketing Data password access to all data in all applications if the user remains logged in. import into cloud applications. This becomes even more worrying at scale, even in SMBs that may only have 100 employees, the number of potential access points can exceed 5000 if there are 50 different cloud applications being used. use. Remote work is an opportunity for cyberattacks Remote work is an opportunity for cyberattacks IT policies cannot be enforced on third-party WiFi networks, and the traditional method of using IP addresses as a form of verification becomes obsolete in transient work environments. 1.2 What are the consequences of a cyber attack? One of the major concerns for any organization is the costs associated with cyber attacks. With a DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack, systems can go offline for several hours, resulting in lost revenue and disrupted workforces.
If a cyber attack infects an organization's systems with ransomware, then this can cripple them for days or even weeks. Coupled with possible ransom payments, the costs are enormous. There is also the issue of data, if potentially sensitive and personal information is stolen in a data breach, it can not only damage a business's reputation but also customer retention or lead to heavy fines from the law. 2. Benefits of zero trust security model Given the widespread nature of all aspects of cyber attacks, the clearest solution for an organization is to implement zero trust security measures with a 'Never Trust, Always Verify' across that organization's networks. This is especially important when we consider how many areas of the business can be targeted, by working with the assumption that every connection whether “secure” or insecure can be targeted. is a threat, zero trust security model as a proactive rather than reactive approach, stopping a potential cyber attack before it can happen.
