Zero Trust Network Architecture vs Zero Trust: What Is the Difference?

Joseph Steinberg

But, even those who have a decent grasp on the meaning of Zero Trust seem to frequently confuse the term with Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA). Because the attacker may be listening to the data moving across the network, all traffic must be encrypted. In short, Zero Trust is an approach. This post is sponsored by Perimeter 81.

Experts spotted a variant of the Agenda Ransomware written in Rust

Security Affairs

The main reasons to rewrite malware in Rust is to have lower AV detection rates, compared to malware written in most common languages, and to target multiple architectures. The Rust variant has also been seen using intermittent encryption, one of the emerging tactics that threat actors use today for faster encryption and detection evasion.”
