How to implement zero trust device security

Holistic Zero Trust is an increasingly mandated and critical defence against cyberthreats especially in today’s hybrid work environment. The added demand for remote access to corporate applications driven by business continuity, customer reach, and newfound employee satisfaction comes with a heightened concern over data security. Employee flexibility aside, enterprises have a competitive need to expose data to contractors and partner ecosystems, which can potentially lead to substantial liabilities if data is compromised.

Cybersecurity has been promoted from the purview of the chief security officer (CSO) to a boardroom environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) responsibility. Issues related to data privacy and security have crossed the boundaries of risk management, and now have a tangible impact on workplace and consumer safety.

In a global environment where data is at increased risk from bad actors with access to sophisticated technology, traditional perimeter-centric safeguards, such as firewalls and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), don’t stand up to modern threats from outside the perimeter. In fact, internal networks no longer offer implicit trust either. That is where Zero Trust comes in.

Zero Trust principles are aimed at improving cybersecurity and have been mandated in the federal arena since 2022. Most vendor offerings typically seek to address siloed segments, such as network or endpoint security, identity, or data security. But it’s important to note that digital workspaces and hybrid work reach across these security segments requiring close alignment between various security and IT teams, in addition to interoperability between security tools.

HP Anyware is a secured access enterprise software product offering zero trust user authentication and endpoint device management strategies. Only authenticated users and trusted endpoints are granted access to corporate workloads. And because software applications are contained to centralized systems, corporate data remains centralized too and never leaks to endpoints, no matter where the user is located. In this whitepaper, we explain how businesses use HP Anyware with Zero Trust device security to improve cybersecurity posture and build a foundation for corporate-wide trusted digital workspaces.
