The Tanium whitepaper emphasizes the shift from traditional VPNs to a zero-trust security model, driven by the rise of cloud computing and remote work. Zero trust, which assumes no user, device, or network is inherently trustworthy, provides a more secure and efficient alternative to VPNs, which struggle under increased traffic and pose security risks. The paper highlights that endpoint visibility is crucial to implementing zero trust effectively, as it ensures robust authentication and access control. By adopting zero trust, organizations can minimize cyber risks and enhance user productivity in the modern distributed work environment.
