You may have recently heard the term “Zero Trust.” This security approach has become one of the most important items on the agenda of many companies and business leaders. It is a security model that does not trust anyone<\/em> by default. So what exactly is Zero Trust? In this article, we’ll tell you all about the basics.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The term “Zero Trust” was coined by an analyst at Forrester Research Inc. in 2010 when the model for the concept was first presented. A few years later, Google announced that they had implemented Zero Trust security in their network. This led to a growing interest in adoption within the tech community. In 2019, Gartner, a global research and advisory firm, listed Zero Trust security access as a core component of secure access service edge (SASE) solutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The basic logic of the Zero Trust architecture is \u201cdo not trust and always verify.\u201d<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0In a world of complex cybersecurity threats and mobile workforces armed with countless apps and devices, Zero Trust aims to provide comprehensive protection in that it assumes that a request never comes from a trusted source<\/strong>, even if it was born inside the corporate firewall. Everything is treated as coming from an insecure open network, and proving trustworthiness is seen as an obligation within the Zero Trust framework<\/strong>. The Zero Trust architecture is based on the principles of undoubted verification of the incoming request and continuous validation throughout the connection, providing the lowest level of authority and reducing the threat surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zero Trust data security is important<\/strong> because it is the most reliable cybersecurity framework that protects against advanced attacks in complex IT environments with dynamic workloads that move frequently between different locations and different devices.<\/span><\/p>\n
