TIP

#2

TIP

#3

Frequently assess your enterprise’s security strategy.

Westley McDuffie, IBM security evangelist, says zero trust is often made out to be more complicated than it actually is. In an article and podcast in this e-book, he defines what the zero trust security framework is—and what it isn’t.

Today’s security landscape is constantly changing. Read on to learn how to respond to these persistent threats and protect your data, your organization and your people.
