Cisco has launched a new cybersecurity assessment tool to enable small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in Singapore to better understand their overall security posture. The new online assessment tool assesses the cybersecurity readiness of an organisation through the lens of Zero Trust, the concept that all attempts to access an organisation’s network architecture are not granted until trust can be verified. When a user accesses an application using a device, both the user and device are verified, with that trust continuously monitored.

The tool assesses the organisation’s level of maturity in six areas of Zero Trust i.e., User and Identity, Device, Networks, Workload (applications), Data, and Security Operations. Once the organisation enters details of its security capabilities and policies, the tool assesses the overall security posture of the organisation based on indust...
