How does Zero Trust address the security concerns in energy and utility sectors?

Zero trust security in the energy and utility sectors involves verifying every device attempting to connect to the network, regardless of whether it is located inside or outside the network perimeter. By implementing strict access controls and constant monitoring, zero trust limits the potential attack surface and minimizes the risk of cyber threats. This approach helps protect sensitive infrastructure and data from advanced cyber threats by assuming that threats exist both inside and outside the network and requiring authentication and authorization for all users and devices trying to access resources.
