A security framework that requires continuous verification of every user, device, and request attempting to access resources, regardless of whether the request originates from inside or outside the network perimeter.

Zero Trust replaces the traditional castle-and-moat security model where everything inside the corporate network was trusted by default. Under Zero Trust, no entity is trusted implicitly — every access request must authenticate, authorize, and encrypt before granting access, with the same scrutiny applied to internal traffic as external traffic. The framework is built on three core principles: verify explicitly (authenticate and authorize based on all available data points), use least-privilege access (limit user access to only what is needed), and assume breach (segment access, enforce end-to-end encryption, and continuously monitor for anomalies). Zero Trust architecture became the security standard for remote and hybrid work environments where there is no clear network perimeter.

- 1Requiring multi-factor authentication for every SaaS application access, not just VPN entry
- 2Micro-segmentation that isolates workloads so a compromised container cannot access neighboring systems
- 3Continuous user behavior monitoring that flags and blocks unusual data access patterns from an authenticated session
