Zero-trust security is exactly what it sounds like: don’t trust anyone or anything when it comes to cybersecurity. Whether CEO or intern, every user is not to be trusted until verified. This means access must be granted every time a user picks up their tools - eliminating any room for doubt and allowing for better monitoring of unusual behavior.
By focusing on protecting data, adopting zerotrust enables organizations to secure information on any platform, legacy system, hybrid cloud, API, or SaaS application. As much as marketing might say otherwise, there is no one-size-fits-all for zero-trust coverage; in other words, it cannot be bought. Instead, zero-trust is really an umbrella concept with a range of implications that frames an approach to cybersecurity, rather than pertaining to a particular technology.
