How does zero trust limit the impact of zero-day vulnerabilities by minimizing exposure and enforcing strict access controls?
Zero trust limits the impact of zero-day vulnerabilities by adopting a least-privilege approach where all access is explicitly verified and authenticated. This means that even if a zero-day vulnerability is exploited, the attacker’s ability to move laterally within the network is restricted due to the strict access controls in place. By minimizing exposure and ensuring that access is only granted on a need-to-know basis, zero trust architecture reduces the attack surface and the potential damage that can be caused by zero-day vulnerabilities.
