zero trust
Never assume safety
Zero trust is a security model that assumes no user, device, or system should be automatically trusted, even inside an organization's network.
Traditional security operated like a castle with walls—once you're inside, you're trusted.
Zero trust instead verifies every access request continuously: Our company moved to a zero trust architecture after the breach.
The approach reflects modern realities where threats come from within networks as often as from outside.
