Understanding Zero Trust Identity

Zero Trust Identity is a paradigm in cybersecurity that assumes a hostile environment both within and outside an organization's network. It requires strict identity verification for every user, device, and application attempting to access resources. Zero Trust Identity eliminates the notion of trust based on location or network, instead focusing on continuous verification of all entities trying to connect to the network to prevent unauthorized access and reduce the potential impact of security breaches.
