The document emphasizes the shortcomings of traditional security architectures, which leave businesses vulnerable to attacks. It advocates for implementing a zero trust architecture through the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, a cloud-native platform that securely connects users, devices, and workloads without exposing the network. This approach eliminates attack surfaces, prevents lateral movement of threats, and protects against data loss. The seven foundational elements of this architecture include verifying user identity, assessing connection context, validating destinations, assessing risk with AI, enforcing policies, preventing compromise, and blocking data loss. This holistic security strategy is essential for protecting modern hybrid workplaces.
