Protecting customer payment data (PCI DSS) and personal information is critical. Zero Trust helps secure point-of-sale systems, customer databases, and online platforms against breaches.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Zero Trust?
Zero Trust is a security model that assumes no user or device can be trusted by default, regardless of their location. Access is granted only after strict verification of identity and context, and access is limited to the minimum necessary resources.
How does this differ from a VPN?
Unlike VPNs that grant broad network access, Zero Trust provides granular, identity-verified access to specific applications. This significantly reduces the attack surface and limits potential damage if an account is compromised.
Can this service be implemented on-premises and in the cloud?
Yes, Cloudflare Zero Trust can be implemented to secure access to both on-premises applications and cloud-hosted resources, providing a unified security layer across your entire environment.
