Zero Trust: Implementing A Path Forward

Chaim Mazal of Gigamon helps pave the path forward for standardizing zero-trust architecture with these best practices to consider. Zero trust has been making waves in the cybersecurity community for more than a decade, but there’s still so much ambiguity around the concept and how to achieve it. The ultimate goal of implementing a zero-trust architecture is to remove any implicit trust in an organization’s network. Basically, the network should assume you are a malicious player unless you prove otherwise. This approach moves an organization’s security strategy away from perimeter-based controls to distributed controls across the network, including within your hybrid cloud environment. Since the onset of this concept, it’s long been thought of as a distant priority or an idealistic end goal organizations would strive to achieve one day. There was little momentum in making a true zero-trust implementation a reality, so achieving this felt unattainable. Until now.

DNS Security and Protecting School Networks

Renée Burton of Infoblox says class is in session and educates us on how DNS security can help protect school networks. Advancements in IoT technologies have revolutionized the education sector, bringing about unprecedented opportunities for learning and collaboration. Online classrooms, digital resources, and interactive learning platforms have enriched learning experiences and expanded educational access for students. The reliance on wi-fi connected devices to modernize education has made IT infrastructure and network performance, in particular, mission-critical for schools. But it has also exposed schools to cyber-attacks, with ransomware looming as a significant threat. In fact, the education sector has become the top target for hackers. Personally, I experienced this firsthand when my children’s credentials were stolen from their school database. As a high school student, our kid was alerted that one of their gaming accounts had been compromised. After some investigation, it turned out that the school’s database of names, accounts, and passwords had been compromised. Attackers were able to correlate different pieces of information to exploit a number of students’ home accounts for different services. It was suspected that the initial access came from a phishing email to a staff member. Initially surprised that cyber-criminals had taken advantage of a small school system to gain access to other accounts, I learned that this was fairly common. According to the White House, “In the 2022-23 academic year alone, eight K-12 school districts throughout the country were impacted by significant cyber-attacks – four of which left schools having to cancel classes or close completely.” In addition to the monetary losses, the costs include days of missed learning for students and months of additional recovery time. The good news is that schools can get ahead of cyber-attacks before they happen– by uniting their network services and DNS security.
