What message is being conveyed in the Hindi movie Guide?

 Will not discuss the story but Guide has several messages like faith, salvation, aspiration etc but above all it conveys the message of transformation that one goes throughout his life.

Dev Anand (Raju) as a Guide, involves in forging, goes to jail, supports a woman, falls in love, inspires her, becomes a sage etc. All this shows that there is a good and evil within us and it depends on us as to which side we want to grow.

The movie inspires us that our quest to be a better person should go on. Raju becomes a sage when he realises that he has cheated Rosy. The villagers start blindly believing in him and have many expectations from him.

Instead of getting corrupt he feels a sense of responsibility within him and the faith of the villagers awakens him as a great person. He is worshipped as God by the villagers.

Unable to break their faith he sacrifices his life. Finally it rains in the drought hit village. The villagers rejoice in the rain which is also a reflection of Raju's tears that their faith has won.

Somewhere it also tries to say that the problems of others can also help you to lift yourself as a person and their cause can provide you the ultimate awakening.

Personal opinion, might differ.

What Is Zero-trust Security? A Handy Guide

 

The rules for corporate cyber security have evolved over the years, as new attacks pose greater threats to the networks and infrastructures companies work so hard to protect. The traditional model centered on a “castle and moat” philosophy, with an assumption that anyone inside a network was not a threat, but those outside certainly could be. Unfortunately, even trusted users inside can become a threat if compromised. 

Zero-Trust Changes the Rules

The more effective modern framework doesn’t put the perimeter at the focus of the discussion. In zero-trust security, users are granted access not based on their location (such as at the office or at home), but rather based on their role and identity, and authentication occurs on a continual basis, rather than just at the network perimeter. Zero trust restricts unnecessary lateral movement between service, systems and applications, with the thinking that any user’s identity could be compromised. By limiting who has privileged access to data assets reduces the threats from bad actors. 

According to a Gartner study, zero-trust network access is the fastest-growing segment in network security, and it is expected to grow 31 percent in 2023, up from 10 percent in 2021. The group says 70 percent of new remote access deployments for corporate environments in 2025 will have transitioned to zero-trust from virtual private networks (VPNs). VPNs were found to be less secure by IT professionals, more easily breached, and less efficient with network bandwidth. 

Zero-Trust Security Best Practices  

Zero-trust security is designed (to a great extent) to prevent malicious activity in the network. Network managers can rely on a few best practices as they build out their zero-trust protocol: 

Deploy Micro-Segmentation

A zero-trust framework most commonly relies on micro-segmentation to enable the IT organization to wall off network resources in specific zones. Doing so helps contain potential threats within the silos and prevents them from spreading laterally throughout the network infrastructure. Micro-segmentation allows administrators to apply granular role-based access policies, particularly those that content the most sensitive systems.  

Limit Long-term Access

As hackers and other bad actors easily adapt to the nuances of a digital ecosystem, it is important to ensure that user access is limited with a permissions and validations based on each individual request, rather than allowing long-term access to a network and its resources.
