Gain an Edge Over Bad Actors

Zero trust security assumes that all traffic on your internal network is potentially malicious. That means there’s an urgent need to bring zero-trust architecture (ZTA) to the edge, where systems are subject to physical and network compromise to a much higher degree than non-edge-based systems.

Here’s a use case to help demonstrate the potential power of ZTA in government edge deployments:

The military increasingly relies on edge devices as a key part of its mission infrastructure. It’s looking to field sensors, for example, to help build a more complete and accurate battlefield view.

The difficulty is one of scale: how to manage hundreds or thousands of devices over a broad geographic area. With a modernized ZTA implementation, it’s possible to achieve zero-touch provisioning, with system visibility and quick security remediations available from a single interface.

With proactive management of device security, the military can make use of these devices to get a fuller view of the battlefield without introducing unnecessary risk.
