As businesses move beyond traditional network boundaries, the old “castle and moat” model of security is no longer effective. In a world of hybrid work, cloud platforms and mobile devices, implicit trust within a network is a major vulnerability. Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) have become vital partners in helping organisations adapt, offering the expertise and frameworks needed to implement a zero-trust approach.

This modern security model removes assumptions by treating every access request as untrusted until proven otherwise. By replacing implicit trust with ongoing verification, zero trust significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised access and lateral movement within the network. MSSPs play a central role in making this model achievable. By combining continuous monitoring, automation, and advanced analytics, MSSPs help organisations put these principles into practice, turning security from a reactive defence into a proactive, adaptive strategy that evolves with emerging threats.
