Securing everyone: Zero Trust 101

The majority of successful cyberattacks have one thing in common: They begin with the attacker stealing or otherwise acquiring valid account credentials for your network. From there, they can launch account takeovers, or use lateral phishing to gain higher-access credentials, or infiltrate ransomware. Fraud, extortion, and data breaches are all potential outcomes.

Multifactor authentication (MFA) adds a layer of security, but — as you’ll see if you attend our upcoming webinar “Securing Everyone: Zero Trust 101” — today’s crooks are using advanced techniques to bypass many types of MFA protection.

Why Zero Trust

The webinar will include analysis of real-world attacks. You’ll understand the vulnerabilities that let the bad guys slip past existing access-control mechanisms, including MFA.

Riaz Lakhani, Tim Jefferson, and Sinan Eran of Barracuda will then explain how Zero Trust Access eliminates those vulnerabilities. You’ll find out how a Zero Trust solution dynamically monitors multiple parameters — user, device, location, time, resources being accessed, and more — which makes it much more difficult to attack your network using Ill-gotten credentials.

Zero Trust made simple

Like many relatively new technologies, Zero Trust has a reputation for being complex, difficult to configure and manage. But it’s clearly gaining traction. Gartner predicts that more than 60% of organizations will embrace zero trust as a starting place for security by 2025.

Barracuda CloudGen Access is a complete Zero Trust solution, and the panelists at the webinar will show you how easily you can use it to secure access to all your network resources, data, and applications.

Zero Trust for Microsoft 365

The same Zero Trust capabilities are now built into some Barracuda Email Protection plans. If you are a customer, you may already have the tools to put Zero Trust Access controls on your Microsoft 365 deployment — including all the important and sensitive data in your Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Notes files.

In an age when identity itself is the perimeter to be defended, Zero Trust Access is a necessity for everyone. Attend this information-packed webinar and get answers to all your questions about how it works, why you need it, and how many of you are already implementing it in one way or another.
