How does zero trust approach endpoint security?

Zero trust enhances endpoint security to defend against advanced threats by assuming that threats could be both outside and inside the network. With zero trust, every endpoint is not automatically trusted, and access is granted based on verifying identity, device health, and security posture before allowing any communication or access to resources. This approach reduces the attack surface and helps prevent lateral movement within the network by enforcing strict access controls and continuous monitoring, thus minimizing the risk of successful cyber attacks.
