Purpose and Function

The purpose of Zero Trust security is to reduce the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches by treating every user and device as untrusted, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the network. This approach focuses on protecting sensitive data and systems through strict access control and continuous verification.

The function of Zero Trust is to verify every access request based on identity, device status, location, and other contextual information. It operates using principles like least privilege access, network segmentation, and ongoing monitoring to ensure that only authorized users can access specific resources. This creates a more secure and resilient environment against modern cyber threats.
