Zero Trust: A Strategy, Not a Product
Zero trust isn't a single product or technology. It's a security strategy that is best implemented by keeping an organization's business operations, risks, and security outcomes in mind.
Although there are various paths to achieving zero trust maturity, most organizations prioritize deployment of technologies such as:
The Core Principles
Never Trust, Always Verify
Every access request is fully authenticated, authorized, and encrypted before granting access — regardless of where the request originates.
Assume Breach
Design your security as if attackers are already inside your network. This mindset leads to stronger internal controls.
Least Privilege Access
Users get the minimum access needed for their role. No more, no less.
Micro-Segmentation
Break your network into small zones. Even if an attacker compromises one zone, they can't move laterally.
