Organisations need to consider Zero Trust Access, a cybersecurity framework, that challenges the traditional perimeter-based security model by assuming that threats can exist both outside and inside an organisation's network. This "never trust, always verify" approach, ensures access to resources is not granted based solely on a user's location or network segment, but rather on their identity, device security posture, and the context of their access request.
The ServiceNow Zero-Trust Access (ZTA) solution provides system administrators the ability to set granular policies and enable least-privilege access control with continuous trust verification and ongoing security inspection to protect users, devices, apps, and data anywhere. This security approach eliminates the implicit trust of users, applications, and devices whereby anyone who requests access is assumed to be untrustworthy until their credentials are verified and, even then, only granted the minimum access their role requires.
ServiceNow Zero-Trust Access aligns with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-207 zero-trust reference architecture and supports four key capabilities:
Controlled access reduces the attack surface by enforcing fine-grained contextual access policies and ensures “least-privilege” access
Improved security posture through trusted identity verification of users and devices access privileges
Protect against insider threats and mitigate risks by consistently verifying the identity and access privileges of all users, regardless of location or affiliation
Increase compliance levels for regulatory mandates by ensuring secure access and data protection. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Note. The Risk Concentration Map provides a map of all third-party engagements to improve visibility into the geographic concentration of risk worldwide.
