HOW DOES ZERO TRUST FUNCTION?
Conventional network security leans on a fortress-and-ditch strategy where everything contained within the digital architectures, shielded by a network security perimeter, is deemed trustworthy. Zero trust overturns this notion.
This implies that individuals accessing an organization’s digital framework must go through authentication, verification, and are granted specific time and privileges on a case-by-case basis. Any device, user, or software striving to reach an organization’s assets and resources is not merely checked once but is continuously verified and authorized.
Moreover, within this framework, particular functionalities such as giving least privilege access — where users are assigned only the minimum access level essential for their tasks — are implemented to mitigate the potential harm an intruder can inflict if they compromise an account.
Network security in zero trust frameworks is broken down into micro-segments — partitioned into smaller sections to contain the possible impact of a breach.
