How implementing a trust fabric strengthens identity and network
Ensuring that only authorized end users and applications can access your enterprise data is fundamental to strong IT security. But traditional identity access management (IAM) security comes with multiple challenges, including the rise of AI deepfakes and other AI-enabled threats. In this article, Microsoft explains its zero-trust approach to security.
A trust fabric is a comprehensive approach to security that integrates identity, network access, and endpoint controls. It aims to ensure that trustworthy identities—both human and non-human—can securely access resources while preventing unauthorized access. This concept moves beyond traditional identity and access management by creating a unified framework that adapts to the complexities of modern digital environments.
Why is Zero Trust important?
Zero Trust is essential because it shifts the focus of cybersecurity from static, network-based defenses to a more dynamic approach that emphasizes user and resource verification. As enterprise infrastructures become more decentralized and complex, applying Zero Trust principles—such as verifying identities explicitly and ensuring least-privileged access—helps organizations effectively manage risks and protect their assets across all layers of their digital estate.
How does Microsoft Entra support trust fabric?
Microsoft Entra provides a comprehensive identity and network access solution that helps organizations create their trust fabric. It enables secure connections for trustworthy identities to any resource from anywhere, facilitating the integration of various applications and services. By leveraging AI and real-time evaluations, Microsoft Entra supports the principles of Zero Trust and enhances overall security posture.
