Overcoming Obstacles: How a Human-Centric Approach is The Way to Secure Remote Access

Last year, I was obsessed with the book, The Obstacle is the Way, The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph by Ryan Holiday. In the book, the author takes us back in time to visit with the writings of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, a general who recorded (for our benefit) how he met challenges in his diary, Meditations.

The Evolution of Zero Trust

For much of its short history, information security has been dominated by a perimeter-based network security model that essentially assumes that anyone inside the corporate network boundary was ‘trusted’ and anyone on the outside was ‘untrusted.’ This notion of trust has functioned as the basis for determining which resources or applications people can access for over 20 years. In recent years, numerous high-profile attacks have weakened the case for this model, to the point

3 Principles Behind Banyan's Continuous Zero Trust Platform
