How does Zero Trust influence the design of network access controls?

Zero trust greatly impacts the design and implementation of network access controls by requiring strict access verification and continuous monitoring regardless of user location or network boundaries. In a zero trust model, access is granted based on multiple factors such as user identity, device health, location, and behavior. This approach shifts from traditional perimeter-based security to a more granular and dynamic access control method, which helps organizations enhance security by minimizing the attack surface and detecting threats more effectively.
