The State of Zero Trust Security 2022
The Okta State of Zero Trust Security 2022 report shows rapid adoption of Zero Trust as a core security strategy. The percentage of organizations with active Zero Trust initiatives doubled from 24% in 2021 to 55% in 2022. Identity is central, with 99% of surveyed organizations naming it critical to their Zero Trust strategies. Okta outlines five maturity phases: Traditional, Emerging, Maturing, Elevated, and Evolved, detailing how companies progress from MFA and SSO basics to passwordless access and dynamic policies. Despite challenges like skills shortages and costs, most industries plan significant advances within 12-18 months.
