zero trust
A security model that requires strict identity verification for every user and device, regardless of location, to protect resources and data.
Zero trust is a cybersecurity framework that assumes no user or device—inside or outside the network—should be trusted by default. Every access request must be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated based on context, such as user identity, device health, and location.
Zero trust architectures leverage technologies like multi-factor authentication (MFA), micro-segmentation, and least-privilege access to minimize attack surfaces and prevent lateral movement within networks. This model is especially important for cloud environments, remote workforces, and distributed infrastructures.
By adopting zero trust principles, organizations can strengthen their security posture, reduce the risk of data breaches, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements in complex digital ecosystems.
