Build Trust with Zero Trust Blueprints

Watch this Tech Data Exclusive 4-part web series

Business priorities are driving digital transformation:

  • User and Endpoints
  • Applications and Data
  • Infrastructure

Traditional security offers a perimeter to assess and enforce the trustworthiness of these connections, but digital transformation requires a different approach. A business-first approach to security means applying zero trust principles.

Watch and learn how you can assist your clients in applying zero trust to help resolve their security challenges. 

Zero Trust to Secure The Remote Workforce

The days of a traditional office setting are gone. Employees are now facing a world where being mobile is a way of life. Watch the REPLAY and View Presentation to review Zero Trust solutions that enable your "clients anywhere" workforce with everywhere security.

Secure the Journey to Cloud

The cloud has become a transformational journey for most organizations. It is a source of modernization, agility, and cost savings, and uncertainty. The reality of hybrid multi-cloud is that it adds further challenges around visibility, control, and implementation of consistent policies. Watch the REPLAY and View Presentation to review strategies to fuel your client's cloud transformation with a Zero Trust approach.

Preserve Customer Privacy

The digital channel has become the primary source of engagement for most businesses. Rising concerns over data privacy regulations, identity theft, and fraud are making it more difficult to deliver personalized and engaging user experiences. Watch the REPLAY and View Presentation to review how to use zero trust to make data access limited and conditional.

Reducing the Risk of Insider Threat

Critical IT assets have become highly decentralized and increasingly difficult to enforce proper access controls upon. Organizations remain highly concerned about massive data breaches as a result of insider threats or advanced attacks like malware and ransomware. Watch the REPLAY and View Presentation to review zero trust solutions that help limit disruption, strengthen resiliency and protect users and resources.
