What is zero trust?

This episode of Techsplainers explores zero trust, the broader security framework that ties together the week’s discussions of least privilege, just-in-time access, continuous authentication and risk-based authentication. Instead of relying on a traditional network perimeter, zero trust applies security policies to each individual connection between users, devices, applications and data. The episode explains why zero trust has become so important in modern IT environments and breaks down the core principles shared across most zero trust models. It also walks through the five pillars commonly used to structure zero trust implementations: identity, devices, networks, applications and workloads, and data.
