Zero Trust

Achieve zero trust architecture with one vendor

Leapfrog from legacy to zero trust

You know that traditional network perimeter defense strategies are no longer enough to protect organizations. That’s why you are adopting a zero trust, identity-centric approach to protection. But zero trust isn’t achieved through just one technology or tool, instead, it’s a blend of solutions that work together to accomplish this widely recognized framework for a proper defense.

At Merlin, our holistic approach is uniquely suited for zero trust. We believe that a successful zero trust architecture (ZTA) follows five core tenets: identity as a perimeter, least privilege, intrinsic workload security, micro-segmentation, and integration and automation. Our solutions help organizations adopt these core tenets on their incremental journey to achieving full ZTA.

Risk tolerance, speed of execution, and breadth of implementation will vary for every enterprise. No matter where your organization might be in achieving zero trust maturity, we equip you with the solutions you need at the pace and scope you desire. Our portfolio of best-in-class and emerging technologies will secure every layer of your IT stack—from endpoints and applications to data and users—in alignment with zero trust.

Identity-centric security for the enterprise

IT modernization is driving security professionals to re-think how they are protecting their systems and data. Remote and mobile workers are increasingly accessing data and applications in the cloud from devices that may be outside of their organizations’ visibility and control. Malicious insiders or even unsuspecting ones may be accessing and exfiltrating data without their knowledge.

Identity-centric security is critical to protecting sensitive enterprise systems, assets, and information from unauthorized access or use by only allowing authorized access to:

Data and information: Sensitive customer, business, supplier, or other data, stored on local servers, in the cloud, or elsewhere.
Software and applications: Systems used by employees, customers, suppliers, partner businesses, and others.
Development, testing, staging, and operational platforms: All IT environments used for product and service development, launch, and operations.
Devices: Laptops, desktops, smartphones, tablets, IoT, and other devices.
Locations: Business locations including private office spaces, data centers, and secure locations.
Integrations: Data that is being transmitted, received, stored, or otherwise interacted with as it moves between different areas.

Effective IAM solutions include single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and privileged access management (PAM) capabilities that enable security professionals to:

Record, capture, and authenticate user login information
Manage the employee database of users and job roles
Allow for addition, deletion, and change of individual users and broader job roles
Provide a history of login and systems access for audit purposes
Allow for properly-segmented definitions and access controls for every part of the organization’s systems and data
Track user activities across all systems and data
Report on user activities
Enforce systems access policies
