Zero Trust Security

In today’s interconnected environments, where workers access networks and applications from diverse locations and clouds, enforcing security policies requires a fundamental shift. The Zero Trust approach, which prioritizes strict “never trust, always verify” principles, replaces traditional network perimeter-based models that are no longer viable. To implement this framework effectively, organizations need precise, contextual data and intelligent enforcement mechanisms.

DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) and DNS Security solutions are pivotal to Zero Trust success. Acting as a foundational Network Source of Truth (NSoT), IPAM centralizes critical network-related data, providing a single-pane-of-glass view of what is connected to networks. As the first service touched in any communication, DNS provides unparalleled visibility and contextual insights into traffic. EfficientIP’s advanced DNS Security leverages this visibility for DNS-centric intelligence, granular DNS filtering policies for advanced application access control, continuous monitoring of DNS traffic for behavioral threat detection, and real-time risk mitigation. By combining IPAM’s centralized management with DNS’s ability to filter and secure communications, organizations can implement Zero Trust strategies with confidence, ensuring robust protection across hybrid and multicloud infrastructures.
