A business-first approach to Zero Trust with IBM Security
By jason keenaghan posted wed may 05, 2021 09:18 am.
The power of a zero trust approach to security is that it can unlock this spirit of fearlessness across an entire organization; pushing the boundaries of productivity and innovation so that every division and person, from the C-Suite to sales, feels confident and empowered to take the risks needed to grow their business without limits. Zero trust is a business strategy – not just a security strategy.
The philosophy behind zero trust is simple, if a bit alarming. You must assume your organization is compromised and then continually verify the connections between every user, device, application, and dataset. This dynamic approach to security assures that each connection meets the right conditions for use at any given moment.
Getting to zero trust nirvana can seem like a monumental task. And to be honest, it is a journey, not a destination. Where do you start? Or where do you go next? An approach we’ve seen a lot of success with at IBM is applying zero trust principles to selected, outcome-focused initiatives. This allows for a business-first approach to security. Here are the use cases we have helped other companies address:
Preserve Customer Privacy
Build customer trust and grow your business with data privacy and security
Protect the Hybrid Cloud
Move to the cloud with confidence knowing security is still in your control
Secure the Hybrid/Remote Workforce
Build a workforce that securely connects from any location with any device
Reduce the Risk of Insider Threat
Limit business disruptions and improve security posture with proactive defenses
Implementing zero trust is not about simply buying another new tool or throwing out everything that you already have in place. To successfully implement a zero trust architecture, organizations need to connect information from across each security domain. Security teams across the company must agree on priorities and align on access policies. They must secure all connections across the business from data to users and devices, applications, workloads, and networks. This architecture requires a well-planned strategy and roadmap to implement and integrate security tools to achieve specific business-focused outcomes.
IBM’s business-first approach to zero trust starts with understanding where you are going, determining what tools, processes, and skills you already have in place, and then co-creating a plan for what to focus on and where to go next to realize the value of zero trust.

An IBM zero trust security strategy can help organizations increase their cyber resiliency and manage the risks of a disconnected business environment, while still allowing users access to the appropriate resources.

IBM uses a zero trust strategy, best practices and methods to implement Zscaler's market-leading SASE capabilities including the creation of governing processes and policies that facilitate a SASE transformation. The transformation is supported by certified deployment and integration expertise by Zscaler at a pace that suits digital business.
A zero trust approach requires securing and regulating movement between internal computers and servers and we begin by removing untrusted protocols. Our SFT solution is designed to include IBM Sterling Connect:Direct which uses a security-hardened protocol. When malware reaches out internally, it will not know how to ‘talk’ to the protocol.
