Zero Trust

A security model that never implicitly trusts a network, user, or device.

Zero Trust replaces perimeter-based trust with continuous verification. Every access request is authenticated, authorized, and encrypted based on identity, device posture, and context — regardless of network location.

NIST SP 800-207 is the reference architecture. Implementation typically starts with strong identity, MFA, device posture, and least-privilege access.
