The state of zero trust transformation, 2023
From prevention to enablement: Leveraging the full potential of zero trust for the highly mobile and cloud-centric enterprise


Enterprises worldwide are racing to speed up innovation while becoming more agile and competitive. To do that while securing users, workloads, and devices in modern environments, IT leaders agree they need to rethink legacy networking and security approaches. The answer is a zero trust architecture.
Most IT leaders already have a zero trust security strategy in place, or in planning. However, only 22% are “very confident” their organization is using cloud infrastructure to its full potential. This tells us enterprises need to widen their lens to see the wealth of transformation opportunities zero trust supports beyond security: empowering hybrid workers, fostering emerging technologies like IoT/OT and 5G, and so much more.
Read this report to learn what 1,900 senior decision-makers around the globe had to say about how their zero trust deployments are progressing, the impacts of hybrid work and emerging technologies, and more. You’ll also find out:

- Which technologies and initiatives are projected to be top priorities by 2025, including 5G and cloud-based OT/ICS access
- What’s holding enterprises back from taking full advantage of the cloud, from privacy concerns to poor user experience
