As organizations embrace digital transformation, the traditional network perimeter has largely disappeared. Employees now access systems from multiple locations, personal devices, and cloud-based platforms, making it impossible to clearly define a “safe” internal network. This shift has created more entry points for attackers to exploit.
At the same time, cyber criminals are using advanced techniques such as stolen credentials, social engineering, and automated attack tools to bypass perimeter defenses. Once inside, attackers can move laterally across systems, gaining access to sensitive data without detection.
🔍 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:
⚠️ 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.
3. Insider Threats
Employees and contractors can accidentally or intentionally expose systems to risks.
