Enterprises should not only be worried about attacks from outside but also activities by employees that make their networks vulnerable to risk. Often this employee activity is not intended to be malicious on purpose, but lack of education and mistakes by employees who do not know the consequences of their actions can lead to security vulnerabilities. Users also often use their own shortcuts in software that are not secure. Even employees properly trained in cybersecurity can make mistakes. Zero-trust protocols address this issue by verifying the activity and credentials from all connections including employees. Humans often make mistakes, so cybersecurity protocols should detect when employees act contrary to security protocols.
