Zero Trust Architecture Explained

Zero Trust Architecture is a method of securely designing applications, networks and more as defined by NIST SP-800-207. The core principals of Zero Trust are identity, authentication and authorization checks that occur not only periodically but also whenever state or context changes. A zero-trust compliant application or network (ZTA & ZTNA) avoids "implicit trust" and instead defers to "trust, but verify" as it's default trust design.
