Zero Trust architecture is a security model based on the following principle – never trust, always verify. The Zero Trust model assumes breach and verifies every request before granting access. It treats every access request as though it\u2019s originated from an unsecured network.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]As a result, the Zero Trust model lets employees access confidential data and systems anywhere without compromising security. It involves authenticating a user\u2019s identity, device, hosting environment, etc., and enforcing least privilege principles to prevent a breach.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Implementation of a Zero Trust model involves protecting the following foundational elements:[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n Deploying a Zero Trust security model involves several steps, including single-sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication, device\/app management, micro-segmentation, and access control.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Here are a few best practices you can use to implement Zero Trust:[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]Extensive Verification <\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Start by authenticating and authorizing all available data points, including a user\u2019s identity, device health, location, workload, and data classification.
