Zero trust is a security framework that assumes every access attempt — whether from inside or outside the network — is potentially malicious until proven otherwise. Traditional perimeter-based security assumes inside the firewall is safe. Zero trust assumes nothing.
The Core Principles of Zero Trust
- Verify every identity rigorously — Multifactor authentication on every access request.
- Enforce least privilege — Users and systems access only what they need, nothing more.
- Assume compromise — Design controls assuming an attacker already has access to your network.
- Monitor everything — Log all activity, establish baselines of normal behavior, alert on deviations.
- Verify device health — Only trusted, compliant devices can access sensitive resources.
Why Zero Trust Matters Today
Remote work, cloud services, and mobile devices have shattered the traditional perimeter. Zero trust is the framework that secures a distributed workforce and hybrid environment.
