Zero Trust

Definition

Zero Trust is a security model requiring strict verification for every user and device attempting to access resources, regardless of their location within or outside a network perimeter. This approach assumes no implicit trust, even for entities already inside the network, and continuously verifies identity and authorization for each access request. It operates on the principle of “never trust, always verify,” significantly reducing the attack surface and mitigating risks from internal and external threats. Zero Trust architecture is vital for protecting sensitive digital assets and infrastructure in complex, distributed environments.
