Zero Trust

Zero Trust is a security model based on the principle "never trust, always verify" — assuming no user, device, or network segment is inherently trusted, even inside the corporate perimeter. Every access request is authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated based on identity, device health, and context. Zero Trust architectures use micro-segmentation, identity-aware proxies, and continuous monitoring. NIST SP 800-207 is the foundational US government guidance on Zero Trust Architecture.
