Applying the principles of zero-trust architecture to protect sensitive and critical data

Abstract

In today's digital landscape, data is a company's most valuable asset, and energy companies, particularly electric, oil and gas, remain at risk of hacking attempts due to their major social and economic importance. Using key zero-trust principles can help to ensure that IT systems are protected, mitigating the risk to company operations and sensitive and critical data. Data is a company's most valuable asset, and energy companies, particularly electric, oil and gas, remain at risk of hacking attempts due to their major social and economic importance. Zero-trust principles can help to ensure that IT systems are protected, mitigating the risk to company operations and sensitive and critical data. However, as David Greenwood of ISN Solutions explains, this model often requires careful planning to ensure productivity and that access to data needed for daily work is maintained.
