The Perimeter is Dead

In the modern digital landscape, the concept of a “trusted network” is obsolete. Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) assumes no implicit trust granted to assets or user accounts based solely on their physical or network location.

Core Principles

1. Verify Explicitly: Always authenticate and authorize based on all available data points.
2. Use Least Privileged Access: Limit user access with Just-In-Time and Just-Enough-Access (JIT/JEA).
3. Assume Breach: Minimize blast radius and segment access.

Implementation Strategies

Moving to Zero Trust isn’t a “rip and replace” operation. It’s a journey.

“Trust nothing, verify everything.”

Start by identifying your most critical assets and mapping the transaction flows.
