Data security (classifying and managing data according to the risk level);

Devices (monitoring end-points and measuring trustworthiness of devices in real-time);

Workloads (securing applications, cloud services, containers, and other workloads);

Network (implementing micro-segmentation, software-defined perimeter );

Automation and orchestration (leveraging security automation, orchestration, and response ( SOAR ) tools);

Visibility and analytics (monitoring and analyzing behavior of all data, users, and devices to detect anomalies);

2. Password elimination

3. Secure access service edge

4. Fully homomorphic encryption
