Whitepaper: Digital Identity, the foundation of your Zero Trust strategy

Your organization has likely invested heavily in cybersecurity. You’ve got a host of tools to protect your resources. Meanwhile, the world has changed. Businesses are undergoing digital transformation and making services available online. You can sign up for software as a service (SaaS) applications with just a username and password. Businesses now accommodate remote work on a massive scale, due to a global pandemic.

In this shifting environment, perimeter-based security is losing effectiveness. For example, you can’t assume all access requests from within your organization’s network are “trusted.”

Industry experts from analysts to the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency are working to define a security model suitable for the current environment. The leading models are Zero Trust and Continuous Adaptive Risk and Trust Assessment (CARTA).

This whitepaper covers some of the concepts around Zero Trust and CARTA, and how digital identity, managed through ForgeRock’s comprehensive identity and access management (IAM) solution, can help you build a strong foundation for your organization’s Zero Trust strategy.
