Description

Zero trust architecture (ZTA) is rapidly gaining traction as organizations face growing cybersecurity threats, the rise of remote work, and the shift to cloud-first strategies. Unlike traditional security models, ZTA operates on the principle of "never trust, always verify," requiring continuous verification of every user and device before granting access. It emphasizes strict access controls and dynamic authentication to minimize risk. Key elements include identity-based access control, real-time threat detection, and consistent policy enforcement across networks, devices, and users. ZTA adoption is guided by standards like NIST 800-207 and integrated frameworks such as Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). This approach promotes the convergence of identity management with network access control, allowing organizations to implement micro-segmentation for better network isolation. Continuous monitoring and strong endpoint security become essential features, reducing attack surfaces and preventing lateral movement by threats. As cybersecurity demands grow, ZTA will become a critical strategy for securing modern, distributed, and cloud-centric IT environments.

Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is expected to rapidly grow as organizations prioritize stronger cybersecurity measures due to increasing threats, remote work trends, and cloud-first strategies. ZTA transforms traditional security models by emphasizing continuous verification, strict access controls, and the principle of "never trust, always verify." Key features include dynamic authentication, identity-based access control, real-time threat detection, and policy enforcement across networks, devices, and users. Compliance with standards like NIST 800-207 and frameworks like SASE will shape ZTA implementation across sectors. Convergence of identity management solutions and network access control systems will enable micro-segmentation, continuous monitoring, and endpoint security.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
