The shift from a centralized
to a distributed way of working in companies is accompanied by a massive
increase in the use of mobile devices. This, in turn, drastically increases the
vulnerability to exploitation of security loopholes, malware and configuration
errors. In order to protect your company and cloud infrastructure, it is
essential to be able to assess the current security status of your company
assets so that you can maintain proper cyber hygiene and enforce compliance
standards - for any asset, anywhere on the network, at any time.
Most solutions provide only partial insight, are inaccurate, do not operate in
real time and cannot handle the increased asset volume of employees working
remotely. As users access your business applications and data through VPNs,
Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and identity providers, even the strongest
user identity authentication is not enough on its own. A comprehensive review
of the security status of the endpoint is also required to ensure that the
connecting endpoint has the proper level of security. Device Identity as a
Service (DIaaS), based on the solution from our strategic partner Infinipoint,
provides this missing piece of the zero trust security model: The integrity of
the device as a link between the user identity and the application.
