In their report, Gartner also predicted that by 2022, 80% of new digital business applications within ecosystems will be accessed through ZTNA and that 60% of enterprises will phase out their VPNs in favour of the technology by 2023. Gartner is advising that every company should adopt zero trust, and key tenants of that are secure access and micro-segmentation.Īfter investigation, Gartner has advised businesses to phase out VPN security protections and replace them with zero trust network access (ZTNA), particularly in internet-facing solutions for employees and partners. Ian Pratt, global head of security, personal systems at HP, has said that those concerns are well-founded, as evidence has emerged that hackers have adopted tactics seen in the SolarWinds breach as well as the Eternal Blue exploit which was used by the WannaCry hackers. In a recent survey, HP found that over three quarters of businesses are concerned about hackers using the same tactics seen from nation-state attacks. Taking this into consideration, it’s no wonder the ‘Zero Trust’ approach has caught the eye of many CIOs, but if you’re still not convinced, here’s some reasons why you should be interested: Attacks are getting more sophisticated. Such attacks can do severe, lasting damage to an organisation’s infrastructure. Recent incidents like the Kaseya, Colonial Pipeline, and SolarWinds attacks show that bad actors have the will and the technical ability to take on the highest-profile service providers. It’s more important than ever for businesses to put effective cyber security measures in place, and the current tactics aren’t working. The ramifications both in reputation and regulatory recourse can seriously damage an organisation’s ability to function. It shouldn’t need to be emphasised the seriousness and effect of cyber security breaches. The current cyber security methods being deployed by organisations are no longer working.
