50% OF ZERO TRUST PROGRAMS RISK FAILURE ACCORDING TO PLAINID SURVEY

CISOs consider zero trust a hot security ticket, but organizations run the risk
of leaving gaps in their security infrastructure.
July 25, 2023
PDF


TEL AVIV, Israel and NEW YORK, July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- PlainID, the
Authorization Company™, today announced the findings of its CISO Zero Trust
Insight survey. The study, which questioned 200 CISOs and CIOs, revealed that
the majority of respondents are on the road to implementing a zero trust
framework in an effort to increase their overall security risk posture. However,
only 50% said that authorization makes up their zero trust program — potentially
exposing their infrastructure to threat actors.



Robust Security Cannot begin without First Implementing Authentication

Historically, a zero trust framework was focused on solving the challenges
associated with authentication, end point and network access security. However,
identity related breaches have increased exponentially, and the convergence of
identity and access management with traditional security has accelerated the
need for new technical capabilities for enterprise authorization and access
controls.

Authorization is a broad and complex challenge requiring a solution that can
provide a multitude of capabilities such as policy management, governance,
control and policy enforcement across a disparate computing environment.
Ultimately, to provide the most secure digital end user experience,
authorization policies must allow for risk based decision making in real time.
This extends the zero trust philosophy from time of authentication through to
the final access point and target data set.



Following survey outreach, the results reflected how only 31% of respondents
said they have sufficient visibility and control over authorization policies
intended to enforce appropriate data access. Additionally, 45% of respondents
indicated a lack of sufficient technical resources as a challenge in optimizing
enterprise authorization and access control. Essentially, organizations may have
implemented a form of zero trust but they do not have the complete tool set or
the on staff expertise and knowledge to have true visibility and control of
their network.

Building Without the Right Expertise Can Create Gaps in Your Security - Buy vs
Build



Organizations are finding themselves building their own homegrown solutions
which can appear cost effective. However, this leaves gaps within the overall
security posture if not developed, deployed, and maintained properly – resulting
in higher operational costs and enterprise risk over time.

In response to the survey, 41% of respondents said they use homegrown solutions
(OPA-based) to authorize identities. Moreover, 40% of respondents also said they
use a homegrown solution (fully custom) to authorize identities. Without true
zero trust, organizations run the risk of leaving gaps in their security
infrastructure. Security has to remain a fluid and ever evolving technology as
cyber adversaries will repeatedly re-strategize and evolve to breach
organizations and when there is a will, there is a way. Next generation
authorization can be the differentiator between a headache for security teams
and a full blown breach. It is never a discussion of if but when hence why
having homegrown solutions that are not built with the evolved threat landscape
in mind and without the technical staff capable of maintaining, there may be a
false layer of confidence that could lead to a betrayal of trust from partners
and customers when their data is stolen.

As the demand for risk based authorization and identity aware security rises,
the deficiencies of legacy home grown authorization engines are exposed. The
demands from business stakeholders to keep pace with digital initiatives, while
ensuring the highest levels of security and user experience, is driving change
to adopt next generation enterprise authorization solutions.

Security Threats are a Guarantee and They Are Constantly Evolving

Implementing an end to end zero trust architecture is a strategy that requires
building a reference architecture that seeks to harden every threat vector
possible. The next frontier is addressing the portion of the user journey post
authentication, and beyond the borders of network access security. Next
generation authorization is poised to provide identity aware security at every
layer of an enterprise computing infrastructure, while also providing central
policy visibility, manageability, and policy governance.

"Zero trust must treat all identities as potential threats. While zero trust
boosts higher levels of confidence, it's imperative to pair it with a
comprehensive authorization framework," said Oren Ohayon Harel, CEO and
co-founder of PlainID. "Enterprises today need continuous evaluation and
validation across all tech stack interaction to mitigate data breach impacts".

This survey was carried out by CensusWide, on behalf of PlainID, and questioned
200 CISOs and CIOs in April 2023 from companies with more than 500 employees
across the UK and USA.
