Zero Trust<\/a> has always been key to maintaining business continuity. And now, it\u2019s become even more important during the COVID-19 pandemic to helping enable the largest remote workforce in history. While organizations are empowering people to work securely when, where, and how they want, we have found the most successful are the ones who are also empathetic to the end-user experience. At Microsoft, we refer to this approach as digital empathy. As you take steps to protect a mobile workforce, a Zero Trust strategy grounded in digital empathy<\/a> will help enhance cybersecurity, along with productivity and collaboration too.<\/p>\n This was one of a few important topics that I recently discussed during a cybersecurity fireside chat with industry thought leader, Kelly Bissell, Global Managing Director of Security Accenture. Accenture, one of Microsoft\u2019s most strategic partners<\/a>, helps clients use Microsoft 365<\/a> to implement a Zero Trust strategy that is inclusive of everyone. \u201cHow do we make working from home both convenient and secure for employees during this time of constant change and disruption,\u201d has become a common question both Kelly and I hear from organizations as we discuss the challenges of maintaining business continuity while adapting to this new world\u2014and beyond. I encourage everyone to explore these points more deeply by watching my entire conversation with Kelly.<\/p>\n
