Verify every request on its merits — rather than trusting anything simply because it is already inside the network.
The traditional security model assumed everything inside the network could be trusted. Remote working, cloud services and personal devices have made that assumption obsolete. Zero Trust replaces it with a simpler rule: never trust, always verify — every user, every device, every time.
When staff worked in one building on company machines, defending the boundary made sense. Today the same people work from home, on phones, through cloud applications hosted by someone else. There is no single edge left to defend.
Zero Trust accepts that and shifts the decision to each individual request. Who is asking, from what device, in what condition, for which resource — assessed every time rather than once at the door.
The controls that make Zero Trust a working architecture rather than a slogan.
Multi-factor authentication and risk-based conditional access, so credentials alone are not enough to get in.
Access granted on the health of the device as well as the identity behind it, not one or the other.
People given the access their role genuinely requires, reviewed as roles change rather than accumulating over time.
Networks and workloads separated so that a compromise in one place does not become access to everything.
Talk to us about moving to a Zero Trust model, starting with identity and device compliance.
