The four stages of creating a trust fabric with identity and network security
This interesting article from Microsoft will help you understand the four stages of creating a digital trust "fabric" to strengthen security for your distributed enterprise. Zero trust is an approach to security that continuously monitors and authenticates users and applications to make sure they are, in fact, authorized to access the data or applications. Read this article to learn more about Microsoft security and zero trust solutions.
What is the trust fabric journey?
The trust fabric journey is a framework that outlines four stages of maturity for organizations looking to enhance their identity and network access security. These stages help organizations evaluate and improve their security posture, starting from foundational identity management to securing access for external users and managing cloud environments.
How does Zero Trust fit into identity security?
Zero Trust is a critical component of identity security, emphasizing three core principles: verify explicitly, ensure least-privilege access, and assume breach. Organizations are encouraged to implement phishing-resistant multifactor authentication and Conditional Access policies to protect identities, as identity is often the most attacked surface area, with Microsoft tracking over 4,000 password attacks per second in 2023.
What are the key recommendations for securing access?
Microsoft recommends several key actions, including unifying Conditional Access across identity and network, enforcing least-privilege access, and minimizing reliance on legacy security tools. Organizations should also automate lifecycle workflows to simplify access reviews and ensure that external identities are governed effectively to maintain security.
