Zero Trust
Zero Trust is a security model that replaces the outdated “trust but verify” approach with a strict “never trust, always verify” philosophy. It assumes that threats can exist both outside and inside the network, meaning no user or device is granted access based solely on their physical or network location.
Core Principles
Continuous Verification: Every access request is authenticated and authorized every time, regardless of where it originates.
Explicit Permission: Access is granted only through clear, verified credentials and context (like time, location, and device health).
Least Privilege: Users are given only the minimum access necessary to do their jobs, reducing the “blast radius” if a breach occurs.
Zero Trust is a comprehensive framework involving multiple technologies—such as identity management and network segmentation—to ensure that you always know exactly who is accessing your data and why.
