Zero Trust Security

February 11, 2025 | ,

In todayโ€™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 โ€œnever trust, always verifyโ€ 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. EfficientIPโ€™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 IPAMโ€™s centralized management with DNSโ€™s ability to filter and secure communications, organizations can implement Zero Trust strategies with confidence, ensuring robust protection across hybrid and multicloud infrastructures.
