Aligning with the Modern Defensible Architecture
How Zscaler Enables a Zero Trust Foundation
The Foundations for Modern Defensible Architecture (MDA) establishes a critical framework for organisations navigating today’s complex and rapidly evolving cyberthreat landscape. This white paper serves as a practical companion to the MDA, translating its core principles—layered and traceable architecture, comprehensive zero trust, and secure-by-design thinking—into clear implementation considerations that organisations can use as a starting point for their zero Trust journey in modern, cloud-first environments.
What Readers will learn:
• How the MDA reframes security architecture for distributed, cloud-first environments.
• What a “layered and traceable architecture” looks like in practice, and why it matters.
• How to apply comprehensive zero trust (“never trust, always verify”) to users, devices, and applications.
• Where Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange can enable and accelerate MDA-aligned outcomes.
• The practical benefits organisations can expect, including improved security, operational efficiency, and resilience against advanced threats.
