Zero Trust for Modern Workplaces

Have you ever wondered how you can establish zero trust in a modern cloud and SaaS environment? Many of the traditional solutions for visibility and governance just won’t work in SaaS and it’s really hard to be in the know. You can’t really guarantee least privilege if you do not even know what privileges have been granted to who in the first place. Add to that that SaaS doesn’t allow you to set up a defensible perimeter making it much harder to control access on the net work level.

Just like with many other aspects of SaaS the traditional approaches are failing. The next challenge then becomes that, while major SaaS applications may offer their own defenses which have been adapted to the SaaS environment (e.g. Microsoft 3365 with conditonal access and Defender for Cloud), you need both expertise and resources to leverage those. With these defenses not having been around for decades, that expertise is still a lot less common and expensive to access.
