The core concept of zero trust is simple: assume everything is hostile by default. In contrast, a zero-trust approach treats all traffic, even if it's already inside the perimeter, as hostile. For example, workloads are blocked from communicating until they are validated by a set of attributes, such as a fingerprint or identity. Identity-based validation policies result in stronger security that travels with the workload wherever it communicates—in a public cloud, a hybrid environment, a container, or an on-premises network architecture.

Because protection is environment-agnostic, zero trust secures applications and services even if they communicate across network environments, requiring no architectural changes or policy updates. Zero trust securely connects users, devices, and applications using business policies over any network, enabling safe digital transformation.
But this makes it a challenging task for businesses to find the right solution provider who could find the exact requirements. That's where GRC Outlook magazine is bridging the gap with the Top 10 Zero-trust solution providers in the 2022 listing. The companies listed below were selected by a panel of experts.
