How can Zero Trust principles secure inter-cloud communication?

Zero trust principles can secure inter-cloud communications between multiple cloud environments by applying the concept of “never trust, always verify.” This means that instead of granting broad access from one cloud environment to another, each interaction and communication request is authenticated, authorized, and encrypted. By implementing strict identity verification, continuous monitoring, and least privilege access controls, organizations can reduce the risk of unauthorized access and data exposure between different cloud environments. Additionally, using technologies such as micro-segmentation, strong encryption, and behavior analytics can further enhance the security of inter-cloud communications within a zero trust framework.
