The Ultimate Defense Against Ransomware
Zero Trust:
The Ultimate Defense
Against Ransomware
Evolving ransomware attacks bypass traditional network security
As users, applications, and data have broken free from the perimeter over the past two years, the scope and impact of ransomware has accelerated. Individual attackers have been usurped by groups who buy and sell each others’ specialized skills and toolkits. Attacks that were once broad and one-dimensional now use targeted, multilayered tactics that are nearly impossible to stop with legacy castle-and-moat security architectures.

Zero Trust: The Most Effective Strategy for Ransomware Protection
Superior ransomware prevention:
Inline inspection of all traffic for today’s mobile and cloud-first enterprises, minimizes the attack surface, and eliminates lateral movement.
Leapfrog traditional solutions:
Zero trust offers a completely different approach to traditional castle-and-most network security architectures by directly connecting users to apps, never the network.
Security that enables the business:
Cuts complexity and cost with an entirely cloud-delivered security model that eliminates traditional infrastructure and supercharges business agility and user experience.
