Zero Trust
- •
def
- •
a holistic approach to network security where nothing is inherently trusted — everything (every device, process, and person) must be verified, covering physical, virtual, and cloud components
- •
- •
why it matters
- •
many networks are relatively open on the inside; once you're through the perimeter firewall, there are often few further security controls — Zero Trust removes that assumption

- •
mechanisms
- •
multi-factor authentication, encryption, system permissions, additional firewalls, monitoring and analytics, etc.
