Zero Trust can be defined in many ways and have just as many models as outlined by different vendors and cybersecurity organisations. The overarching Zero Trust model has one axiom: “Trust No One.” A good security posture should be planned and implemented with this in mind, because attacks and threats can transpire from inside the network as well as from the outside.
Therefore, no device or user should be given default access to any resource, and every access should be protected with a reputable authentication solution and security protocols — whether accessing from within the network perimeter, or from the outside.

Collecting data such as business and personal information has always been a commonplace practice for a range of companies. While it was assumed that businesses should lock it down and keep it safe as part of standard operating procedure, unless there was gross negligence or a huge attack it has not been front of mind for many companies, in particular SMBs.
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and NDB (Notifiable Data Breach) are frameworks for industry to make sure that all necessary data is protected, and reinforced via fines or censure if infringements have been proven. While GDPR focuses on personal data of European citizens, it is still enforceable to any Australian business that has an establishment, offers goods and services or monitors the behaviour of individuals in the EU. It should also be noted that the New Zealand Privacy Act shares many common requirements with GDPR.
A layered security model takes into account that there is not a single system / appliance / software that will be able to stop all the attacks coming into a network. The strategy, therefore, is to have additional systems that can ensure a better coverage.
How to decide what layers should be implemented? Look to an existing layer model like the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model, for networking that has 7 layers. Traditional security mechanisms feature in the lower levels (1 - 4), but with the emergence of services and applications, levels 5 - 7 have grown in importance.
A lot of organisations are moving to the cloud, but still have to ensure they are compliant to current laws and regulations. However, having parts of your infrastructure managed by a cloud provider means you need transparency of your platform, systems, usage and users. Without this transparency, you will not be able to identify risks that are born from usage. Unlike on-premises or private clouds, which generally have clearly defined roles (such as datacentre provider, data owners, custodians, etc.), public clouds use a shared responsibility model that requires you to be even more diligent in your efforts for compliance.
