Cyber Notes Cast - Zero Trust-Based Security Approaches

In a world of complex cybersecurity threats and mobile workforces armed with multiple apps and devices, security in Zero Trust aims to provide comprehensive protection. The Zero Trust approach never assumes that a request comes from a trusted source, even if it originates from inside the corporate firewall, for example. Everything is treated as if it came from an open, unsecured network, and trust itself is seen as a responsibility within the zero-trust framework. Zero-trust security can also be called non-perimeter security. This term shows how it is the opposite of traditional security models, which follow the “trust, but verify” principle and consider users and endpoints already authenticated within the company perimeter or those connected via VPN (Virtual Private Network) as secure. But this implicit trust increases the risk of data breaches caused by insider threats, as it allows for extensive, unverified sideways movement across the entire network.
