BLOOMFIELD, NJ, July 26, 2022 — FCI announced that it has mapped the four critical areas of Zero Trust — Users, Endpoints, Software, and Networks — required for true compliance and overall cybersecurity. Clarifying the definition of Zero Trust has become important with everyone posturing themselves as a Zero Trust solution. The simplified version of Zero Trust is that you trust “no one” and “nothing” until verified.
Global events elevated the importance of cybersecurity across all industries, boards of directors, and leadership teams. Employees went remote, geopolitical tensions increased, and so did the sophistication and frequency of attacks. Everyone went on high alert and Zero Trust came to the forefront as a key concept to reinforce.
FCI Zero Trust services follow a NIST Framework and tie in regulatory requirements from SEC, FINRA, and NYDFS. FCI takes clients to Zero Trust in the following areas:
- Software: Hardening software and validating user and endpoint compliance at the time of login to systems of private data.
- Users: Verifying that only authorized users can access private data, endpoints, software, and networks.
- Endpoints: Automating the enforcement of cybersecurity settings and endpoint protection.
- Networks: Enforcing secure and encrypted communication inside and outside corporate networks.
Wrapped around this Zero Trust Ecosystem are FCI’s Security Operation Center (SOC) Services that provide 24×7 cybersecurity monitoring and incident response support.
Brian Edelman, FCI’s Founder and CEO comments, “There’s confusion in the market today about the term Zero Trust. You have some vendors covering one functionality and others covering a different area — this is ‘partial’ Zero Trust. Having Zero Trust in one area only isn’t complete Zero Trust.”
