Zero Trust

Zero Trust replaces the traditional 'castle and moat' security model (trust everything inside the network) with 'never trust, always verify'. Every access request is authenticated, authorised, and encrypted regardless of where it originates. Key principles include least privilege access, microsegmentation, continuous monitoring, and assuming breach. Technologies enabling Zero Trust include multi-factor authentication, identity-aware proxies, software-defined perimeters, and endpoint detection. Zero Trust has become the standard security architecture for organisations with remote workforces, cloud infrastructure, and BYOD policies.
