What is Zero Trust?
Zero Trust is a security model based on one simple rule:
"Never trust, always verify."
No user or system is trusted by default — even inside the network.

Why Traditional Security Fails
- Perimeter-based security is outdated
- Remote work increased attack surface
- Insider threats are rising
---
Core Principles

- Least privilege access
- Continuous monitoring
---
Key Components
- Identity & Access Management (IAM)
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Micro-segmentation
- Device trust

Zero Trust is not a product — it's a mindset and architecture.
