Definition
Zero Trust Security is a cybersecurity approach that assumes no user, device, or system should automatically be trusted, even when operating within a network environment.
Instead, access is continuously verified based on identity, security status, and authorization policies.
Why It Matters
Modern data centers increasingly support distributed computing, cloud services, and AI infrastructure.
Zero Trust security helps protect critical systems by providing:
- Stronger access control
- Reduced security risks
- Improved visibility
- Protection against unauthorized access
