What is Zero Trust?

Zero Trust is a security architecture that eliminates implicit trust. Instead of assuming everything inside the network perimeter is safe, Zero Trust requires continuous verification of identity, device health, and authorization for every access request. Core principles include 'never trust, always verify', least privilege access, micro-segmentation, and assuming breach. Zero Trust is particularly relevant as organizations adopt cloud services, remote work, and hybrid infrastructure where traditional perimeter-based security is insufficient.
