What is Zero Trust Security?

What is Zero Trust Security?

Zero Trust Security is a cybersecurity model that requires strict identity verification for every person and device trying to access resources on a private network, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the network perimeter.

How does it differ from traditional security models?

Unlike traditional models that trust users inside the network, Zero Trust assumes that threats could be internal or external, so it verifies every access request.

What are the key principles of Zero Trust?

The key principles include least privilege access, micro-segmentation, continuous monitoring, and strong authentication.

Can you give me an example of implementing Zero Trust?

Sure! An example would be using multi-factor authentication for all users and segmenting the network to limit access to sensitive data.
