How does zero trust handle remote workforce security?

Zero trust provides better security for remote workforces compared to traditional methods by assuming that no user or device should be trusted by default, regardless of their location or network. Zero trust architecture relies on continuous verification of a user’s identity and device security posture before granting access to resources. This granular approach reduces the risk of unauthorized access, potential lateral movement of threats across the network, and minimizes the attack surface. Additionally, zero trust solutions often incorporate encryption, multi-factor authentication, least privilege access controls, and behavior analytics to enhance security for remote work environments.
