What is the Zero Trust Security Model?

What is the Zero Trust Security Model?

The Zero Trust Security Model is a cybersecurity approach that assumes threats could be both outside and inside the network. It requires strict identity verification for every person and device trying to access resources.

How does it differ from traditional security models?

Unlike traditional models that trust users inside the network, Zero Trust never assumes trust and continuously verifies every access request.

What are the key principles of Zero Trust?

The key principles include verifying every user and device, limiting access to the least privilege necessary, and continuously monitoring and validating trust.

Can you give examples of Zero Trust implementations?

Sure! Examples include using multi-factor authentication, micro-segmentation of networks, and implementing strict access controls based on user roles.
