Closing the Identity Gaps in Critical Infrastructure Security

Specops Software discusses the role of Zero Trust architecture in defending critical infrastructure by verifying both user identities and device trust before granting access to systems. The company emphasizes that stolen credentials, compromised devices, and trusted account takeovers are common entry points for attacks on critical infrastructure.

Why it matters: Operators of critical infrastructure assets need to implement identity verification and device trust controls to reduce the attack surface that adversaries exploit during initial compromise.
