🔍 What Is Zero Trust Security?
Zero Trust is a security framework that requires continuous verification of every user, device, and application regardless of location.
Core Principles of Zero Trust:
-
No implicit trust inside or outside the network
-
Continuous authentication and authorization
-
Least-privileged access
⚠️ Why Traditional Security Models Fail
1. Expanding Attack Surfaces
With cloud services, mobile devices, and third-party access, the network perimeter has dissolved.
2. Credential-Based Attacks
Stolen usernames and passwords allow attackers to bypass traditional defenses.
Employees and contractors can accidentally or intentionally expose systems to risks.
