Assessment emphasizes a ‘never trust, always
verify’ approach to network security
As the world becomes more connected, the threat of cyberattacks
becomes increasingly problematic. The traditional “trusted network”
is no longer viable, forcing organizations to build upon a Zero
Trust architecture to protect and strengthen their network
infrastructures.

Optiv Security, a leading end-to-end cybersecurity solutions
partner, is helping clients do just that with its Zero Trust
Readiness Assessment. It’s an approach designed to guide
organizations and CISOs through their Zero Trust journey.
“Zero trust isn’t just a buzz word in the remote work era; it’s
a fundamental business strategy that will enable organizational
resilience,” says Kevin Lynch, Optiv CEO. “Companies need to move
to a model where no person or device is trusted by default. All
should be authenticated before access is allowed to anything,
regardless of your technology stack. This approach should also
extend to the physical world and include employees, customers,
trading partners and your supply chain.”
Zero Trust is an information security model based on the
principle of maintaining strict access controls by not trusting
anyone or any action by default, even those already inside the
network perimeter. Each transaction is evaluated for need and risk.
In other words, “assume breach” and “trust nothing” by taking the
default position that any entity — user or device — is a potential
threat. In a networked world full of threat actors, “never trust,
always verify.”
Optiv’s Zero Trust assessment helps organizations:
- Build stronger access control that minimizes risk of ransomware
and insider threats
- Secure expanding, complex network, hybrid users, and
proliferating devices
- Reduce security vulnerabilities as the business moves forward
further into the cloud
- Minimize attack surface penetration
“Zero Trust is a journey, it’s an evolution, a continuous
process,” says Jerry Chapman, technical director and engineering
fellow at Optiv. “Breaking down the silos between identity and
security solutions will provide a more integrated and adaptive
approach to Zero Trust and guide organizations further up the path
to a Zero Trust architecture.”
