Managed Trust leverages the essentiality of trust, in tandem with Cybersecurity-as-Infrastructure platforms, to cause exponentially better security posture than ZTA in the mid and long term.

This architecture self-sustains over time and provides long-term holistic cybersecurity protection. It also solves the longstanding problem of low employee adoption – turning business cybersec from only ‘top-down enforcement’, ala ZTA, to ‘down-up plus top-down’, org-wide cultural change.

The philosophical and architectural limitations of ZTA impose heavily artificial IT processes into organizations. Resulting actual organizational processes could even be interpreted as ‘alien’ and ‘inhuman’. The complete nullification of trust is unnatural, and only breeds mechanized organizational culture. Where the human element slowly slips out the back door.

Trust is existentially implicit and essential in business, especially within an organization. A framework that leverages trust, rather than negates it, is one that will last and can continually be built upon. The ceiling is exponentially higher; with Zero Trust – Zero itself is the absolute beginning and the absolute limit.
