Zero Trust
Zero Trust is a security model that assumes no user, device, or application, whether inside or outside an organization's network, should be automatically trusted. Instead, every access attempt is continuously verified and authorized before granting minimal necessary access.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity architecture and strategy that mandates explicit verification for every access request, operating on the principle of 'never trust, always verify' regardless of network location, leveraging identity, device posture, and least privilege access controls to continuously authorize and secure digital assets and resources via micro-segmentation.
BACKGROUND
Computer security is a subdiscipline within the field of information security. It focuses on protecting computer software, systems, and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft, or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as to the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
