While ransomware has been around for decades, its prevalence has exploded over the last two years. These attacks used to be perpetrated by individuals; now they’re launched by networked groups of affiliates who buy and sell each other’s specialized skills and toolkits.

Zero trust is an approach to security that’s based on the notion that a breach has already occurred. Architectures, access control policies, and monitoring and authentication tactics are put in place to mitigate the amount and severity of the damage an attacker can cause.
