With their recent release of Zero Trust Network Access and Zero Trust Cloud Access, access isn't based on credentials alone, it requires the right user, the right device, and the right conditions. Because as we've seen in recent large-scale CRM breaches, stolen credentials and misconfigurations can expose massive amounts of data.
