Zero Trust is a framework for security in which all users of an application, software, system, or network, inside or outside of an organization, must be authenticated, verified, and frequently validated before being granted access to specific data or tools within the company’s network. In the zero trust framework, networks can be in the cloud, hybrid, or on-premise with employees in any location. The assumption is that no users or devices are to be trusted with access without meeting the necessary validation requirements.

Traditional network security follows the “trust but verify” way of thinking and granting access to data and information.

Companies must monitor and validate user access and establish controls before any access is granted in the zero trust architecture method.
