Zero Trust is a cybersecurity strategy built on the belief that you should Never Trust and Always Verify. But how do you secure infrastructure, applications and services, and data that, as part of your cloud strategy, are connected broadly and accessible by anyone, at any time, from any location on your network and off? Zero Trust makes it simple to improve your security posture.

Using the Protect Surface methodology, you can enhance protection around these crucial assets that are the lifeblood of the organization, such as data, applications, and system-critical infrastructure. Protect Surface helps you accomplish Zero Trust by systematically identifying crucial assets, prioritizing them, and deploying a series of controls along the path to and within the Mainframe. These controls include: 

1. Zero Trust network access solutions
2. Access enforcement at the gateway
3. Multi-factor authentication
4. Privileged user management

As risks grow, your security strategy should too. Broadcom’s ‘start anywhere’ approach lets you effectively modernize Mainframe security one strategic layer at a time, using the Protect Surface methodology to implement Zero Trust.

Zero Trust ensures that only the right people have the right access, for the right amount of time, and under the right circumstances. It is the security strategy built to deal with today’s security threats and it is ideal for Mainframe data center security as both build on the Principle of Least Privilege.
