Enterprise adoption of the Zero Trust security model is growing as part of key initiatives to mitigate cyber risk. With its principle of user, device and infrastructure verification before granting conditional access based least privilege, Zero Trust holds the promise of vastly enhanced usability, data protection and governance. This 2020 Zero Trust Progress report shows how enterprises are implementing Zero Trust security in their organization and reveals key drivers, adoption, technologies, investments and benefits.
The 2020 Zero Trust Progress report surveyed more than 400 cyber security decision makers, ranging from technical executives to IT security practitioners and representing a balanced cross-section of organizations of varying sizes across multiple industries. As 72% of organizations plan to assess or implement Zero Trust capabilities in some capacity in 2020 to mitigate growing cyber risk, nearly half (47%) of cyber security professionals lack confidence applying a Zero Trust model to their Secure Access architecture.
