Trivore Oy developed its security activities with the help of the EU’s Digital Europe programme. With this project, Trivore entered the Zero Trust era.
Zero Trust generally refers to the security concept that no network or user should automatically be trusted – even if it is an organisation’s own network. The approach includes strong user authentication and authorisation, network segmentation, continuous monitoring and analytics, data protection, and contextual access authorisation.
The aim of the “Trivore’s path to Zero Trust” project was to implement the modern Zero Trust concept into the company’s operations. According to Kari Mattsson, Trivore’s CTO, Zero Trust is a good model and fits well into Trivore’s culture.
“Our goal is to continuously improve our own operations in accordance with the company’s certified ISO 9001 quality system. This project has been one part of this broader framework and continuum. We have been very pleased to receive funding for this project. It has enabled us to develop this activity. The project has therefore significantly improved our safety awareness and capability,” says Mattsson.
“At Trivore, this project has had the support of senior management from the start, but unfortunately, in many companies these things are often left to the purely technical people. This means that development work does not progress as efficiently as it could. It is therefore important that Zero Trust work always has the real support of senior management. Management should also actively monitor the progress of the work and prioritise resources for development,” Mattsson concludes.
The project has given Zero Trust work a good start, but there is still things to be done. In the future, deployment will be extended as compatible services are introduced.
The project was supported by the EU’s Digital Europe programme. The project period was 13.6.2023-31.5.2024.
