Zero-Trust Architecture

Definition

Zero-trust architecture is a security model that requires strict identity verification for every person and device attempting to access resources on a private network, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the network perimeter. This model operates on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” It assumes no implicit trust is granted to users or devices based solely on their physical or network location. It significantly enhances an organization’s security posture by minimizing the attack surface.
