Against a backdrop of increasing cyberattacks, expanding cloud adoption, remote work, and growing digital risk, traditional perimeter-based security approaches are proving inadequate. The Journey to Zero-Trust explores how organisations across ASEAN are rethinking cybersecurity by adopting an “assume breach” mindset one that focuses on limiting the impact of attacks through continuous verification, least-privilege access, and greater visibility across users, devices, networks, workloads, and data. Drawing on insights from regional technology leaders, the report examines the maturity of Zero-Trust adoption and the practical steps organisations can take to strengthen cyber resilience.
Read the Executive Summary for the latest insights on Zero-Trust cybersecurity, including:
• Organisations are moving towards an “assume breach” posture, recognising that preventing every attack is impossible and that reducing the impact of successful breaches is now a strategic priority.
• Zero-Trust implementation is an iterative journey, requiring organisations to assess their current security posture, build on existing investments, and align controls with business risk and risk appetite.
• Identity and Access Management (IAM) remains a critical pillar of Zero-Trust, with organisations placing greater emphasis on continuous verification, least-privilege access, and securing both human and non-human identities.
• As conventional network perimeters disappear, organisations are increasing focus on segmentation, visibility, cloud-native security, and integrated approaches such as SASE to reduce risk and contain threats.
