When it comes to adopting a Zero Trust approach, many organisations in the financial services sector already have most of the constituent parts required.

But moving from existing approaches to a new security model is a challenge. Organisations need to adapt and bring robust security defences into their existing network infrastructure to form a coherent protective whole.

A Zero Trust approach is not new, but it’s now an imperative to keep your organisation safe when you’re operating in an environment that’s constantly shifting in ways that open up new vulnerabilities.

Banking and financial services organisations are in an excellent position to make a swift move to Zero Trust. We estimate organisations already have between 60-80% of the security building blocks that they need to adopt a Zero Trust approach. What needs to come next is a change of stance, and a unification process to protect their business as they evolve.

In this whitepaper, we’ll:

• Explain how the banking and financial services sector can use micro-segmentation to defend their cloud environments.
• Take you through the changing threat landscape.
• Outline the eight guiding principles for Zero Trust in banking and financial services.
• Explain how BT is able to support organisations to detect and respond to threats in a Zero Trust world with real time visibility and monitoring.
