Zero Trust has become the modern cybersecurity mantra: never trust, always verify. But Zero Trust cannot succeed without strong Identity Governance as its foundation.
The Connection Between Zero Trust and IGA:
- Granular Access Controls: Enforce least privilege at every step.
- Continuous Verification: Regularly review and certify access rights.
- Adaptive Policies: Adjust permissions dynamically as roles or risks change.
Why Identity Governance is Essential:
- Firewalls and VPNs are no longer enough—identity is the new attack surface.
- Without governance, Zero Trust policies remain theoretical, not practical.
Bottom Line:
Zero Trust is only achievable when organizations govern identities effectively—ensuring access is tightly controlled, constantly verified, and dynamically adjusted.
