Why Zero Trust?
Traditional perimeter-based security assumes everything inside the network is trusted. With remote work, cloud services, and BYOD policies, the perimeter has dissolved. Zero trust assumes breach and verifies every request.

Core Principles
Zero Trust Fundamentals
| Principle | What It Means | Implementation |
|---|---|---|
| Never Trust, Always Verify | Authenticate every request | MFA, continuous auth, risk-based access |
| Least Privilege | Minimum needed permissions | Just-in-time access, role-based policies |
| Microsegmentation | Small network zones | Contain lateral movement on breach |
| Continuous Monitoring | Real-time anomaly detection | SIEM, UEBA, adaptive controls |
