Never Trust, Always Verify: Achieving Ironclad security with the Zero Trust Architecture Model
Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is a security model that eliminates complete trust and seeks to authenticate, authorise and continuously validate every entity, this includes entities attempting to gain access into an organization’s network as well as entities within the network. ZTA was introduced as an improvement on traditional security models which is based on a castle-and-moat concept. Using the castle-and-moat concept meant that focus was placed only on making it difficult to obtain access to a network.
