For the manager of a small or medium-sized business, cybersecurity may seem a complex field, often summed up in the image of a firewall acting like a fortress. But in the age of telecommuting, the cloud and sophisticated phishing threats, this model is obsolete. A modern approach - Zero Trust security for SMEs- is now indispensable.
At Bourbon Digital, we're convinced that trust can't be decreed; it has to be verified. This is the foundation of Zero Trust, a philosophy we integrate by default to guarantee your "Digital Serenity".
Why does the "château fort" model no longer protect your SME?
It used to be that all threats came from outside. Today, your working "perimeter" has expanded:
- Work is hybrid: your employees connect from home, from cafés, or on the move.
- Data is in the cloud: Your critical information is no longer on a local server, but on platforms like Google Workspace.
- Threats are internal: a single successful phishing e-mail can give an attacker "legitimate" access to your network, rendering the firewall useless.
Faced with these new realities, a simple wall is no longer enough.
What is "Zero Trust" security? Simply explained
Zero Trust is based on a radically simple principle: trust no one by default, even users already inside your network. The motto is clear:
"Never trust, always verify."
Imagine a high-security building: your access badge is checked not only at the entrance, but also at the door of every office you wish to use. Zero Trust applies the same rigorous logic to your information system.
The 3 pillars of our Zero Trust approach
Our Zero Trust security methodology for SMBs is built around three fundamental pillars, which we integrate into every Google Workspace environment we deploy.
1. Systematic verification of identity
Every user and every device has to prove who they are, every time they try to access a resource. Whether at work or at home, the rule is the same. No more unlimited access based solely on location.
2. The principle of least privilege
We make sure that each employee has access only to the bare minimum needed to accomplish his or her mission. A sales representative does not need access to accounting files. If an account is compromised, this approach drastically limits the potential damage.
3. Constant supervision and anticipation
Our approach is proactive. We don't just apply strict rules; we implement continuous monitoring to detect any suspicious activity. This enables us to anticipate emerging threats and constantly adapt your protection, giving you lasting security.
The concrete benefits of Zero Trust for your SME
Adopting a Zero Trust security philosophy with an expert partner brings invaluable peace of mind.
- Protection for the modern workplace: your teams can collaborate from anywhere, in complete security, without compromise.
- Greater resilience to cyber-attacks: By compartmentalizing access, you can limit the spread of threats and protect your most critical data.
- Simplified regulatory compliance: Strict access management is a pillar of RGPD compliance.
- The peace of mind to focus on your core business: You don't have to become a cybersecurity expert. We manage the complexity for you.
