What is Zero Trust?
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity model that assumes no user, device, or system should be trusted by default, regardless of whether it is inside or outside the network perimeter. It enforces strict verification for every access request.
Zero Trust relies on principles such as the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP), continuous authentication, and strong Identity and Access Management (IAM). It shifts security from perimeter-based defenses to identity- and context-driven controls.
What is Zero Trust used for?
Zero Trust is used to reduce the Attack Surface and limit the impact of breaches by enforcing granular Access Control and continuous monitoring. It helps prevent lateral movement and unauthorized access.
Organizations implement Zero Trust using technologies such as Multi Factor Authentication (MFA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), and network segmentation. It is a key strategy for improving Security Posture and aligning with modern architectures like SASE.
