Zero Trust Security

Zero trust security is a security model that requires all users, apps, services, and devices — whether inside or outside the organization’s network — to be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated. Essentially, a zero-trust security framework insists that zero entities are trusted by default. 

Implementing zero trust security requires a comprehensive evaluation of every access request, continual assessment of session risk, and strict enforcement of access policies. This model leverages advanced security technologies, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), robust identity and access management, micro-segmentation, and least privilege access control.
