Sixty percent of organizations have accelerated zero trust projects in response to COVID-19
Sixty percent of organizations have accelerated their Zero Trust projects during the pandemic, while only 15% have slowed down. These numbers come from a new survey conducted by Enterprise Management Associates and Pulse Secure.
The Enterprise Zero Trust Networking Strategies: Secure Remote Access and Network Segmentationreport, surveyed more than 250 technology professionals. The research found that the main difference between those who were successful in moving their Zero Trust initiatives forward were those that started out with formalized Zero Trust projects. Those that had dedicated budgets and formal initiatives (69%) were far more likely to continue accelerating those projects throughout the pandemic, while those that had ad hoc Zero Trust projects were more likely to stall progress or stop entirely.
