New York – Companies of all sizes can boost cybersecurity from connected devices along a complete digital pathway, and through IT networks to cloud-hosted SaaS applications with Verizon Business’s new cybersecurity solution, Trusted Connection. Instead of forming a secure boundary around a digital landscape, trusted connections protect connections and endpoints to digital resources across web/cloud, SaaS, private apps, and more.
A trusted connection is especially suitable for businesses that require enhanced security but do not have the resources or expertise to install and run it, or are looking to simplify security management.
“Implementing the right cybersecurity architecture is one of the most important responsibilities facing technology decision makers. Kyle Malady, CEO of Verizon Business, said: “If perimeters are broken, bad actors can wreak havoc. A trustworthy connection will create a protected environment within the exterior walls of security, protecting each specific entry point and pathway that could lead bad actors to valuable digital assets. Sophisticated security technology and ease of use that cybersecurity makes them accessible to businesses of all sizes.”
“Cloud-related security is an urgent and escalating issue, but as exploitable technologies gain the foundation, few companies have the resources to stay safe in real time. The service can dramatically reduce the attack surface by encrypting the path between the cloud and the endpoint,” says Camille Mendler, chief analyst at OMDIA’s Service Provider Enterprise. “Trusted Connected’s seamless network and native security take a major step towards functionality and control, especially for medium-sized businesses that face similar threats as large companies, but often lack the resources to quickly evolve into security threats.”
A trusted connection includes the following features and features:

According to the 2024 Verizon Data Brace Investigations report, 77% of basic web application attacks and 31% of all violations over the past decade were involved in using stolen qualifications. Trusted connections help to reduce the negative impact of stolen credentials by enforcing ZTNA on network connections, checking device security attitudes, providing access from managed devices, and enforcing multifactor authentication for administrator-specified access.
