Zero Trust Step 4B: How to Secure Admin Access

Admins hold the key to the proverbial kingdom – and this makes them a top target for attackers.

In part B of our deep dive into step four of Zero Trust (create Zero Trust policy), host Lieuwe Jan Koning and ON2IT Field CTO Rob Maas unpack how to build Zero Trust policies specifically for administrative access.

They explore:
• Why admins are a high-value target – and what that means for policy
• How to build secure jump hosts and enforce strict access controls
• What ‘separation of identity’ really looks like in practice
