In this context of resilience , Zero Trust can be a multi-problem solution . Zero Trust is a cybersecurity model that operates on the principle of “ never trust , always verify .” Unlike traditional security methods , which often rely on a “ trust but verify ” approach , Zero Trust does not automatically trust users or devices within an organisation ’ s network perimeter .
Instead , it requires continuous verification of every access request , regardless of whether it originates from inside or outside the network . This model employs strict identity verification , ensures least-privilege access , and continuously monitors for threats , thereby reducing the risk of data breaches and unauthorised access .
By implementing Zero Trust principles , organisations can ensure that endpoints are continuously monitored and verified , which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and security of IT systems that have people login remotely .
Equally , the Zero Trust model ’ s emphasis on least-privilege access and explicit verification ensures that only authorised users and devices can access critical systems , thereby safeguarding data and enhancing the overall resilience of the IT infrastructure .
Yet , in the race to find a technological solution to the issue of having staff work
