What It Means for Your Security Strategy
A New Standard in Cyber Security
In an era where ransomware, credential theft, and AI-powered attacks are escalating at pace, traditional perimeter-based defences are no longer enough.
That’s why Zero Trust has become the new standard - and why Microsoft has been recognised as a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Zero Trust Platform Providers, Q3 2025 Report.
According to Forrester, Microsoft is “best suited for organisations with complex estates looking for a seamless and integrated Zero Trust approach.” From identity to threat protection to automation, Microsoft’s platform provides complete visibility and control across the modern attack surface.
What is Zero Trust – And Why Does it Matter?
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity model that assumes breach. That means no user, device, or request is trusted by default - whether inside or outside your network. Instead, access is continuously verified, permissions are limited to the minimum required, and suspicious activity is proactively detected and contained.
It’s a model built for how modern organisations actually operate - with hybrid users, cloud-first infrastructure, and constantly evolving threats.
With a Zero Trust approach, organisations can:
- Strengthen access control and reduce lateral movement
- Protect identities, devices, data, and applications
- Improve visibility across endpoints and user behaviour
- Respond faster to advanced threats using automation and AI
Why Microsoft’s Platform Stands Out
What sets Microsoft apart - and what Forrester’s recognition reflects - is the breadth, depth, and integration of its Zero Trust capabilities.
From a single ecosystem, Microsoft delivers:
- Identity and access management through Microsoft Entra
- Endpoint protection and mobile device management via Microsoft Intune
- Threat detection and response with Microsoft Defender and Sentinel
- AI-powered automation that supports real-time threat remediation
- Unified policy management to enforce consistent controls across environments
Combined, this creates a seamless platform for managing risk - without the complexity and cost of integrating point solutions.
What This Means For Your Business
Whether you’re in the early stages of adopting Zero Trust or looking to mature your existing controls, now is the time to act.
The threat landscape won’t slow down – and regulators, insurers, and customers increasingly expect organisations to have a robust, evidence-based cyber strategy in place. Zero Trust isn’t just best practice anymore – it’s a business requirement.
But the journey can be complex. That’s where a trusted partner comes in.
