We’d be the first to admit it: my team and I put a lot of emphasis on security.

That said, we’d argue that this emphasis is completely warranted, especially considering how intent modern cybercriminals are to accomplish their goals. It’s gotten to the point where you really can’t trust anyone… not even the people you’ve hired to work for your business. It’s an unfortunately necessary mindset that today’s business owners must adopt.

This is why establishing zero-trust security standards is so critical.

When considering the strengths of shapes, the triangle is generally considered the strongest, its three vertices creating the optimally stable configuration. The same can be said of your business’ approach to cybersecurity. The difference is that, instead of three equal legs working together to support whoever is seated on a stool, your business’ cybersecurity relies on equal investment in three key areas: your people, your processes, and your technology.

You might think that adding additional security measures can only benefit your business, and this is true in most circumstances, save one: security exhaustion. If you don’t make it easy for your employees to adhere to your security policies, then you could inadvertently be making them perform slower than usual and your solutions could be getting in the way of their work.
