A rapid digital ecosystem brought forth a host of complex security concerns, particularly with data scattered across multicloud environments. While a robust security architecture is vital for business and operational continuity, the focus must expand to prioritise resiliency.
The US Department of Defense released a globally recognised reference architecture for Zero Trust, and organisations are embracing the approach to modernise and stay resilient. Yet determining where to start, prioritising capabilities, progressing towards maturity, and integrating it across multiple vendor products is complicated.
Dell Technologies is leading an ecosystem of technology partners to deliver a validated Zero Trust solution. The recently announced Dell Technologies Project Fort Zero, built on the US Department of Defense reference architecture, is designed to expedite frictionless Zero Trust adoption.
Discover how Dell Technologies will deliver a validated Zero Trust solution and learn what that means for organisations around the world.
