Question 1

What is Zero Trust security?

Accepted Answer

Zero Trust is a security approach that requires verification from anyone trying to gain access to data or resources. It treats every request as if it comes from an open network. It isn't a single technology, but a holistic security strategy.

Question 2

Why are businesses adopting Zero Trust security?

Accepted Answer

The old ‘trust but verify’ model is no longer sufficient to prevent exposure to data breaches, malware and ransomware attacks.

The changing way we work means that applications and data are accessed from multiple devices inside and outside the office. Companies are adopting the Zero Trust security model to allow this while protecting their data.

Question 3

Why is cyber security crucial for businesses?

Accepted Answer

Cyber security protects vital data from cyber threats, including data breaches, ransomware, and phishing attacks. Cyber security also protects a company's reputation, helps maintain customer trust, and ensures compliance with regulatory standards. In our digital age, where data is a key asset, cyber security is essential to avoid financial losses, prevent downtime, and maintain operations.

Question 4

What is governance, risk and compliance?

Accepted Answer

Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) is a combined approach that helps you stay on top of business, technology and regulatory changes.

It counters the issue of multiple departments all trying to manage their own cyber risks, business goals and adherence to laws and regulations regarding data and information security.

By developing a GRC strategy companies can see a reduction of silos, improved decision-making, stronger legal compliance and better IT investments.
