A recent survey by Gartner Inc. showcases how 63% of organizations worldwide have implemented a zero-trust strategy, either partially or fully, with 56% considering it an industry best practice.

The Bottom Line Up Front

Zero-trust strategies are becoming increasingly popular as organizations recognize the need for enhanced security measures. However, many organizations are still unsure about the best practices for implementing these strategies effectively.

Zero-trust strategies often only address half of an organization's cyber environment, leaving gaps in security coverage.

Organizations were advised in the Gartner report to recognize the scope of what a zero-trust strategy can reasonably cover and incorporate metrics to measure success and risk.

Cyber security advisory authorities explain that organizations implementing zero-trust strategies should focus on understanding the limitations of these strategies, incorporating metrics for measurement, and preparing for potential staffing and cost increases
