Centrify<\/a>, a leading provider of zero trust security through the power of next-gen access, has announced results of a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Centrify, which finds that organisations powering zero trust security with next-gen access solutions reported twice the confidence to accelerate new business models and customer experiences.<\/p>\n

The study of 311 IT decision-makers in North America and the UK found that 67% of all enterprise resources are exposed to access-related risk and that a zero trust security approach is the best strategy to control access to enterprise resources.<\/p>\n

The study revealed that next-gen access is the engine that powers zero trust security, stating that, \u2018NGA technologies enable the layers necessary for a successful zero trust strategy.\u2019<\/p>\n

Organisations using next-gen access solutions \u2013 including Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS), Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) \u2013 also reported topline benefits including being 66% more confident in adopting mobile work models, and 44% more confident in securing DevOps environments. Those same respondents reported bottom line benefits of mitigating overall risk by 37% and reducing security costs by 31%.<\/p>\n

According to Forrester, 58% of global enterprises have experienced a breach in the past 12 months. According to the study, \u2018security leaders are urgently scrambling to defend every entry point but traditional approaches to security, based on keeping out the \u2018bad guys,\u2019 while letting in the good guys, have proven ineffective.\u2019<\/p>\n

In response, many security leaders are turning to zero trust approaches that remove trust from the equation completely, shunning the traditional \u2018trust but verify\u2019 approach and replacing it with a \u2018never trust, always verify\u2019 mandate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dissolving network perimeter is causing a complete rethink in how we approach security, taking into account a new enterprise reality defined by the cloud, mobility, and increasing demands for agility,\u201d said Tom Kemp, CEO of Centrify. \u201cThis study reveals that two-thirds of enterprise resources are exposed to access-related risk, largely because organisations are approaching security in a way that no longer works and with solutions that are ineffective. Zero trust security, powered by next-gen access, reduces risk and costs, while ushering in a new era in customer experiences and business models.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zero trust is the best strategy to control access, the study states.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuccessful access control is a key pillar in Forrester\u2019s zero trust model for securing today\u2019s enterprises,\u201d it says.<\/p>\n

\u201cA zero trust strategy, as the name implies, rests on security leaders not making any trust assumptions throughout their security architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n

To enforce user access, a Zero Trust strategy requires that an organisation\u2019s security must have the capability to:<\/p>\n
