Zero Trust and Verify: Master Security and Availability

This document is an Intellyx Analyst Guide that focuses on the Zero Trust security model and its application in hybrid cloud environments. It aims to assist organizations in identifying and mitigating cybersecurity risks by providing insights into the importance of visibility across distributed application environments. The guide outlines the challenges faced by security operations engineers and threat hunters in achieving comprehensive visibility, particularly in the context of hybrid cloud infrastructures. It discusses various methodologies, including the use of Extended Detection and Response (XDR) and Network Detection and Response (NDR), to enhance security measures. Additionally, the guide emphasizes the necessity of deep observability to uncover threats that may otherwise remain hidden due to existing blind spots in cybersecurity tools. The document serves as a resource for understanding how to implement Zero Trust principles effectively and the role of packet-level intelligence in achieving robust security.
