GLOSSARY  /  Zero Trust

What is Zero Trust?

A security model that trusts nothing by default and verifies every request, inside or outside the network.

Zero trust assumes breach: it enforces least privilege, strong identity verification, device posture checks, and micro-segmentation rather than relying on a trusted network perimeter.

“Never trust, always verify” is the guiding principle.
