Zero Trust Implementation: Complete Guide for SMBs

Your VPN is killing your business. I don't mean that figuratively - I mean it's the single largest attack surface that ransomware groups like Akira actively hunt for. When a 75-person accounting firm got hit last month, their "secure" VPN had been compromised three days prior. The attackers sat inside their network for 72 hours, mapping systems and stealing data before deploying ransomware. Total damage: $340,000 in recovery costs plus $87,000 in lost business during downtime.
