Zero Trust

Home » Glossary Terms » Zero Trust

Zero Trust is a security model that assumes no user, device, or application should be trusted by default, regardless of location. Every access request requires continuous verification. Key principles include “Never trust, always verify”, least privilege access, continuous monitoring, and identity verification. Security mechanisms include IAM, MFA, microsegmentation, encryption, and endpoint protection. Zero Trust aligns with modern cybersecurity strategies, protecting organizations from threats like phishing, ransomware, and insider attacks. It is widely adopted by enterprises to enhance security, compliance, and risk management.
