Cloud best practices: Audit checklist for zero trust security

This 10-point checklist outlines best practices for designing a data security and access control framework that protects cloud data on every endpoint across the perimeter-less enterprise. Organizations can no longer rely on traditional security approaches to protect data as it travels across multiple endpoints and networks that may or may not be controlled by enterprise IT. Although cloud service providers typically do everything they can to mitigate the risk of a breach in their data centers, once cloud data moves to an end user’s mobile device, it’s at greater risk of being compromised. To ensure the appropriate cloud security controls are in place, IT needs the ability to validate every user, device, app, network, and threat before greenlighting access — instantly and without requiring a password.
