What is a Zero Trust strategy and why is it important for organizations to adopt?

A zero trust strategy is vital for organizations because it assumes that threats could be both inside and outside the network. By implementing this strategy, organizations no longer automatically trust any user or device inside or outside their network perimeter. This approach improves security by verifying and enforcing security controls for every user, device, and application attempting to connect to the network, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the organization’s traditional perimeter. This helps to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, lateral movement by attackers, and data breaches, ultimately strengthening the overall security posture of the organization.
