Topic: Zero Trust in the Cloud: Strengthening Access Across Hybrid Environments
Abstract: With companies migrating data storage to cloud environments, new approaches to data security and access management are essential in the current threat landscape. Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) has emerged as the most prominent security framework for secure access management across networks of all types and sizes, including hybrid cloud environments. ZTNA provides identity-centric access control that helps minimize the attack surface, thereby preventing unauthorized access. This webinar explores the challenges of access management in hybrid cloud environments and how applying Zero Trust principles can strengthen authentication, enforce least privilege access, and reduce security risks. Attendees will also gain insights into enhancing information security, protecting sensitive data, and building a resilient cloud security strategy using ZTNA.
Key takeaways:
- Current threat landscape and challenges of the hybrid cloud model
- Role and importance of Zero Trust–based access management in cloud security
- Identity-centric access management strategies for cloud environments
- Best practices for adopting a Zero Trust model in hybrid cloud
- ZTNA deployment case studies in cloud environments
