Introducing Banyan TrustScore: Your Security Credit Score for the Zero Trust Era

We’re pleased to introduce Banyan TrustScore, a powerful concept analogous to Credit Score in the Finance industry, that provides a quantifiable metric to gauge the trustworthiness of users and devices accessing corporate data. This score enables security administrators to easily set policies that provide different levels of access to employees and third-parties based on the sensitivity of data they’re accessing. TrustScore also provides an intuitive way for the company workforce to check their and their device’s security posture and improve it, thereby working in concert with the security teams to create a safer corporate environment.
