Companies must also adopt a zero-trust security mentality wherein no one trying to gain access to your
site can or should be trusted. One of the core tenets of this paradigm is that it requires users to be verified

stringent access controls, continuous validation and yet another layer of security and protection from bad
actors.

out of the user's hands and implementing critical, proven protocols like certificate management, PKI and
zero trust, will ensure you are not the next victim of a cyber attack.
