Zero Trust Architecture: Why 'Trust But Verify' is Dead

What is Zero Trust?

Zero Trust operates on the principle of "Never trust, always verify." It assumes that the network is already hostile and that internal traffic is just as dangerous as external traffic.

Core Pillars of Zero Trust

• Identity Security: Verifying the user explicitly using MFA and behavioral analytics.
• Device Security: Ensuring the endpoint is compliant and not infected before granting access.
• Network Security: Micro-segmentation to limit the blast radius of any potential breach.
• Data Security: Encrypting data at rest and in transit, and restricting access on a strict need-to-know basis.

Transitioning to Zero Trust is a journey, not a switch. Start by mapping your most critical data flows.
