How much does it cost to implement Zero Trust for a small business?

Since Zero Trust isn’t a single product, it can be challenging to determine the exact cost for a small business to implement it. However, it’s estimated that small businesses spend between $5,000 and $50,000 annually on cybersecurity.

Do I need an IT team to use Zero Trust?

No, you don’t need a full IT team for your small business to start using Zero Trust. You can start with tools and platforms that promote Zero Trust principles, and scale up as your business grows.

How does Zero Trust protect against phishing and scams?

Zero Trust doesn’t stop phishing and scams from happening, but it helps limit the damage they can cause. By verifying every login and restricting access to sensitive areas, it keeps attackers from moving freely through your systems, even if they trick someone into sharing credentials.
