What is the role of Zero Trust in protecting user data during mergers and acquisitions?

Zero trust plays a significant role in safeguarding user data during mergers and acquisitions by ensuring that all entities involved adhere to strict security measures regardless of their network location. It assumes that threats may exist both inside and outside the network perimeter and requires continuous verification of every entity trying to access company resources. This approach helps to protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access, especially when different systems or networks are being integrated during mergers and acquisitions.
