Zero Trust is a cybersecurity model based on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” Every user, device, and application must be authenticated and authorized — even inside the network perimeter.
Why it matters:
- Prevents attackers from moving freely inside a compromised network.
- Reduces risk from insider threats and stolen credentials.
- Increasingly required in modern hybrid and remote environments.
Pro tip: Zero Trust isn’t a single tool — it’s a layered strategy involving identity management, device verification, and continuous monitoring.
