You might not like the term ‘zero trust,’ but the concept is on point

The cybersecurity risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic’s disruptions and ever-growing network complexity have certainly not gone unnoticed by executives.

In a recent Deloitte survey of C-suite executives, 72% said their organizations experienced between one and 10 cyber incidents and breaches in the last year alone. This type of persistent threat – and the inability of organizations to prevent cyber break-ins from happening – is more than enough to foster a deep sense of distrust among executives.

That sense of distrust is likely a major reason why the term “zero trust” has so much appeal to frustrated CEOs and CFOs: They have in fact lost trust in everyone and everything in their network. When they hear simple refrains like “never trust, always verify,” executives are all-in and instruct their security teams to go make it happen — ideally sooner rather than later.
