DESCRIPTION

The biggest issue facing information security professionals is that our traditional trust model is broken. Security devices have two interfaces: One interface is labeled "trusted," and the other is labeled "untrusted." In today's threat environment, which interface goes to the Internet? Threats from malicious insiders are growing at a rapid pace, but information security professionals are conditioned to think of the internal network as safe and the Internet as evil. Companies have invested great sums of money into technologies designed to protect them, but attacks still happen. To deal with this issue, Forrester has developed the "zero-trust model of information security." The zero-trust model is built on the idea that security must become ubiquitous throughout your infrastructure.

Agenda:

• A broken trust model is the most urgent issue facing information security professionals today.
• All users are effectively "untrusted."
• Security must be embedded throughout the network, not just on the perimeter.
• All resources must be accessed securely.
• All traffic traversing the network must be inspected and logged.
