How does Zero Trust address the security challenges posed by Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies?

Zero Trust security model secures environments where employees bring their own devices by assuming that no device, user, or network should be trusted by default, regardless of location or method of connection. It focuses on identity verification and strict access controls. Each device and user must go through continuous verification processes, and their access is limited based on the principle of least privilege. This means that users only have access to the resources they specifically need to do their jobs and nothing more, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and potential breaches. Additionally, Zero Trust architecture includes additional security measures such as encryption, multi-factor authentication, and continuous monitoring to ensure a higher level of security for the network and the data within it.
