Zero Trust is gaining widespread acceptance, and organizations face various hurdles in its implementation. How are you implementing Zero trust in your organizations?
Below are a few strategies that organizations should keep in mind while crafting the plan to implement Zero Trust for their SaaS environment. A. SaaS Vendor Assessment Before procuring a SaaS product, thoroughly review the SaaS vendor’s security policies, data backup and recovery policies and their approach toward securing the platform against vulnerabilities. Organizations should have an inventory of approved SaaS tools that have been vetted by the security teams and prevent employees from installing and using unapproved SaaS tools that can expose the organization to compliance and security risks. B. Employee Training Before teams start implementing SaaS applications, employees need to be familiar with the SaaS tool, security best practices the tool offers and how zero trust principles can be applied. C. Identity Management Implement Single Sign On (SSO) in combination with multifactor authentication (MFA) for users to use a single password to login to the network but confirm the user’s identity every time they login to the SaaS application, thereby adding an additional layer of security. D. Obervability, Logging and Monitoring Real-time monitoring and logging of user and API activities, such as user logins and sessions, API response times, is crucial for tracking unexpected behavior of users or critical application components. This ensures swift action against any suspicious activities.

Some high-level requirements for the tool are : 1) Low Code 2) easy to manage for semi technical users 3) should be cross platform i.e (Web - chrome, Mobile - Android and IOS) 4) If it helps we already have JIRA for test case management. Does anyone have experience in this aspect and can suggest any tools?
