Zero Trust Network and Cloud Access Implementation Guide

This guide outlines the implementation of ThreatLocker, a Zero Trust platform designed to enhance cybersecurity for enterprise environments. It details how to secure network access by applying a deny-by-default protection model, which ensures that network traffic is only allowed when it matches defined policies. The document explains the process of defining authorized access pathways, including specifying approved users, devices, and internal resources. It emphasizes the importance of device-level security, where access is granted only when both the user and device meet the established security requirements. Additionally, the guide presents strategies for maintaining secure access to Software as a Service (SaaS) resources, highlighting how ThreatLocker can mitigate risks associated with phishing attempts and unauthorized access. By cataloging devices and enforcing strict access controls, organizations can achieve a consistent and secure network environment. The guide serves as a comprehensive resource for IT teams looking to implement and manage Zero Trust access effectively across their operations.
