Zero-Trust Architecture (ZTA) is the framework that puts the Zero-Trust principles into practice. It involves a combination of technologies, policies, and processes to secure an organization’s digital environment.
Key Principles of Zero-Trust
- Verify Explicitly: Always authenticate and authorize users and devices based on all available data (e.g., identity, location, device health).
- Least Privilege Access: Grant users and devices the minimum level of access they need to perform their tasks—nothing more.
- Assume Breach: Operate as if a breach has already happened, and design your security to limit the damage.
