How does Zero Trust address the risks associated with social engineering attacks?

Zero trust mitigates risks associated with social engineering attacks, such as phishing or insider threats, by assuming that every user, device, or application attempting to access the network is potentially compromised. This approach involves verifying and validating all entities trying to connect to the network, regardless of their location or past credentials. By implementing strict access controls, continuous monitoring, and authentication mechanisms, zero trust limits the chances of an attacker successfully leveraging social engineering tactics to gain unauthorized access or compromise sensitive information.
