Your network feels safe, but...
Your employees work partly at home, partly in the office. They log on to laptops, tablets and sometimes even private phones. Everything seems well organised: you have firewalls, VPNs and antivirus software. Yet something is gnawing at you. Because you hear more and more about data breaches, sophisticated phishing attacks and hackers accessing systems unnoticed for months on end.
How can you be sure your IT environment is truly secure?
The reality is: traditional network security is no longer adequate. You used to build a digital wall around your organisation - and everything within that wall was considered trusted. But in a world of hybrid working, cloud applications and mobile access, that “wall” is long gone. And this is precisely why the Zero Trust Networking (ZTN) model is rapidly gaining ground.
What is Zero Trust Networking?
Zero Trust revolves around one principle: trust no one, verify everyone. Every access attempt to data or applications is continuously verified, based on identity, device, location and behaviour. Not once, but every time.
The goal? That only the right person, with the right device, gets access at the right time - and nothing more than that.
Why ZTN is relevant just now
-
Hybrid working = more risks
Employees work outside your network, on unsecured Wi-Fi networks or private devices. ZTN protects against misuse of that access. -
Internal threats are real
Not every data breach is the result of an external hacker. Even within your organisation, mistakes or misuse can lead to damage. ZTN prevents one mistake from exposing everything. -
Fast detection, minimal damage
Through constant monitoring and smart access rules, suspicious actions are quickly blocked - even before real damage occurs. -
You have to comply with stricter rules
Whether you work with personal data, financial data or trade secrets - with ZTN, you can more easily comply with ISO 27001 and other standards.
How do you get started with Zero Trust?
Switching to ZTN is not a “big bang”. You can get started step by step:
- Map out who has access to what
- Segment your network and restrict access
- Introduce multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Monitor behaviour with smart tooling
- Automate access decisions based on risk
At Sofatech, we help organisations rethink their network from a Zero Trust perspective. Not to make it more complicated - but rather more manageable, secure and future-ready.
