What is Zero Trust Security?
Zero Trust is a security model that assumes no user or device, whether inside or outside the network, should be trusted by default. Verification is required for every access request.
Principles of Zero Trust:
- Verify explicitly: Authenticate and authorize every request.
- Least privilege access: Grant only the minimum permissions needed.
- Continuous monitoring: Analyze behavior and network activity in real-time.
Zero Trust reduces the risk of insider threats, lateral movement of attackers, and data breaches in modern hybrid environments.
