How does Zero Trust address the security of Internet of Things (IoT) devices?

Zero Trust can address the security challenges posed by IoT devices by implementing strict access controls, continuous monitoring, and segmentation. With Zero Trust, each IoT device is not automatically trusted, and access is granted based on verification of identity, device integrity, and behavior. This approach helps prevent lateral movement of threats, limits the impact of compromised devices, and reduces the attack surface. Continuous monitoring ensures that any anomalies or suspicious activities can be quickly identified and addressed to enhance overall security. Additionally, segmenting IoT devices into isolated zones can contain potential threats and prevent unauthorized access to critical resources.
