Filling in the Missing Link in Zero Trust

The ongoing pandemic lockdown has created an urgent need to enable classified connectivity from homes. In the haste to respond to this urgency the need to provide infrastructure protection at home equivalent to that required at the office has been sidestepped or overlooked. The Cybersecurity Community has emphasized a ZERO TRUST architecture applied to cloud-based data. That’s “trust but verify explicitly” from the inside out. The same principles must apply equally from the outside in, from the desktop that is user based. Currently, VDI based solutions applied thus far render trust to the user, but without the verify. That is the missing link.

Fortunately, there are safe-based solutions tailored to in-home use. Compact, autonomous, self-controlled, inconspicuous. When coupled with desktop biometrics and remote monitoring and control, a seamless, convenient, compliant package results that puts the “verify” into teleworking equal to, if not better than, that mandated at the office.
