How does Zero Trust impact the management of network identities?

Zero trust enhances the management and security of network identities across distributed systems by adopting a model that assumes all users, devices, and applications are untrusted until verified. It takes a more granular approach to access controls, enforcing strict verification processes before granting access to resources. This approach reduces the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches, as it requires continuous verification and validation of identities and devices accessing the network. Additionally, zero trust limits lateral movement within the network, minimizing the impact of potential security threats.
