How does Zero Trust support zero-downtime security upgrades in critical systems?

Zero trust enables zero-downtime security upgrades for systems requiring uninterrupted operations by implementing a security model that assumes any entity or request originating from outside or inside the network is a potential threat, requiring verification before granting access. With zero trust, systems continuously evaluate and authenticate every request and prevent lateral movement within the network, reducing the attack surface and minimizing potential disruptions during security upgrades. This approach ensures that access controls and security measures are consistently enforced, facilitating seamless upgrades without downtime.
