Comprehensive identity solutions strengthen Zero Trust security

Vishal Vasu, Director & CTO, Dev Information Technology Ltd. (DEV IT)

"The shift from traditional MFA to Zero Trust and identity-centric security frameworks is no longer optional—it’s essential in the face of increasingly complex cyber threats. MFA provided a foundation for verifying identities, but it doesn’t account for dynamic, evolving threats. Zero Trust, with its core principle of 'never trust, always verify,' ensures continuous authentication for every access request, irrespective of location or device. Coupled with identity-centric solutions like Azure AD and Microsoft Sentinel, organizations can safeguard confidentiality through robust access controls, ensure integrity via behavioural monitoring, and maintain availability by mitigating disruptions. Together, these frameworks bolster resilience against modern threats.

DEV IT specializes in guiding clients through this transformation. By leveraging Microsoft’s cutting-edge technologies—Azure AD for secure identity management, Sentinel for real-time threat detection, and Defender for Identity to preempt threats—we enable organizations to adopt Zero Trust seamlessly. Our 24x7 Managed SOC further ensures proactive monitoring and threat response, addressing vulnerabilities before they escalate.

Challenges like legacy system migration, cultural resistance, and perceived costs often hinder adoption. We address these through education, practical demonstrations, and smooth integration strategies that highlight the long-term benefits of Zero Trust.

Our roadmap focuses on AI-driven cybersecurity innovations—enhancing threat detection, automating responses, and strengthening identity protection. Through constant innovation, we empower businesses to stay secure and resilient in an evolving threat landscape.”
