Zero Trust
A security model that trusts no user or device by default and verifies every access request, regardless of network location.
Put the term into practice: ISMS software
Zero trust replaces the old assumption that everything inside the corporate network is safe. Its guiding idea is never trust, always verify: every request to access a resource is authenticated, authorised, and continuously validated.
It relies on strong identity, device health checks, least privilege, and micro-segmentation, and it suits modern environments where users, devices, and services are spread across cloud and remote work.
