What Is Zero Trust?
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity model built on the principle of: “never trust, always verify.” Instead of assuming that everything inside a network or perimeter is safe, every user, device, application and access request is treated as potentially untrusted until proven

In today’s digital landscape, traditional security models that rely on a fixed perimeter — like firewalls guarding a corporate network — no longer provide sufficient protection.ZeroTrustEmployees work remotely, applications run in the cloud, and cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated. Zero Trust addresses these challenges by removing implicit trust and enforcing strict access controls at every level.

Implementing Zero Trust is a journey, not a one-time project. It begins with understanding your assets, users, and workflows, followed by deploying strong identity and access management, segmenting your network, and setting up continuous monitoring. Partnering with experienced cybersecurity professionals can accelerate this process and tailor solutions to your unique needs.

Origins and Evolution

Zero Trust was first introduced by John Kindervag of Forrester Research in 2010. He observed that traditional perimeter-based defenses were inadequate in an increasingly mobile, cloud-based, and hybrid IT environment. Since then, the approach has evolved, driven by:

• The rise of cloud computing
• Increased remote and hybrid workforce
• Proliferation of mobile and IoT devices
• Sophisticated cyberattacks like insider threats and supply chain attacks

Governments and industries worldwide are also incorporating Zero Trust principles into cybersecurity mandates and frameworks, accelerating adoption.
