Zero Trust

What is Zero Trust?
Zero Trust is a security framework based on the principle of "never trust, always verify." Instead of assuming that users or devices inside a network are automatically trustworthy, Zero Trust mandates that every user, device, and network flow is authenticated and authorized before being granted access to resources. This model minimizes the blast radius of a potential security breach by segmenting access and continuously validating security posture.
