How does Zero Trust secure cross-border data transfers in compliance with GDPR?

Zero trust security helps to secure cross-border data transfers in compliance with GDPR and similar privacy regulations by ensuring data protection and user access control regardless of the location of the data. Zero trust assumes that threats can be both external and internal and requires verifying anyone and anything trying to connect to the network, regardless of where they are located. This approach minimizes the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data during cross-border transfers by constantly verifying the identity and security posture of devices, users, and applications involved in the data transfer process. Additionally, implementing encryption, access controls, and monitoring mechanisms further enhance security and compliance with data protection regulations.
