Description: Judgment-based security refers to a security approach that relies on human evaluation and decision-making to determine the level of risk and necessary protective measures. This concept is framed within the ‘Zero Trust’ philosophy, which asserts that no entity, whether internal or external, should be automatically considered trustworthy. In this context, human judgment plays a crucial role, as security professionals must analyze situations, interpret data, and decide on the implementation of appropriate security controls. This approach acknowledges that while automated technologies are essential, human experience and judgment are irreplaceable in identifying threats and responding to incidents. Judgment-based security also implies the ability to adapt to new threats and contexts, requiring a deep understanding of the organization’s infrastructure and operations. In a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, this approach is fundamental to creating a secure and resilient environment, where informed and strategic decisions serve as the first line of defense against potential attacks.
