How does zero trust address supply chain security?

Zero trust is a cybersecurity framework based on the principle of not automatically trusting entities inside or outside the network. In the context of supply chain security, zero trust can help address vulnerabilities and risks by verifying and authenticating every connection, regardless of whether it originates from inside or outside the network perimeter. This means that all devices, users, and applications must be validated and authorized before they can access any resources. By implementing zero trust principles in supply chain security, organizations can reduce the potential for unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security incidents that may arise from vulnerabilities in the supply chain ecosystem.
