If you are daunted by the anticipated scope of adopting a zero-trust framework, you are definitely not alone.

They say ‘learn to walk before you run’. Outcomex have assisted many organisations on a pragmatic 3-step approach that starts without needing massive change and which yields tangible improvements, even at the ‘crawl’ phase.

1. Crawl 
   Avoid the common outcoming of stalling the whole process when trying to do too much at once.  Start with what you already know. Who’s accessing what? Where are the critical, riskiest assets?  Begin by focussing on quick wins: Identity Security authentication, conditional access, isolating sensitive (segmenting) data flows.
2. Walk 
   Next, build on what you already have.  Expand segmentation, automating policy enforcement, integrating user and device trust signals.
3. Run 
   Congratulations, you have made it past the stagnation caused by trying to do everything all at once.  It is full speed ahead now, deploying adaptive policies and continuous verification embedded across your environment.

Zero Trust isn’t a rip-and-replace strategy. It’s an evolution. Take one step at a time, with the right foundation, and the right partners.”
