Zero Trust in Practice: Network and Cloud Security
Zero Trust in Practice: Network and Cloud Security Zero Trust asks us to verify every access, regardless of location. It shifts trust from the network to the user, device, and session context. In practice, this means strong identities, minimal permissions, and explicit checks for every connection between people, workloads, and data. The goal is to reduce risk by assuming breach and acting quickly to verify each action. Network security under Zero Trust focuses on controlling access between segments, not on guarding a single perimeter. Microsegmentation limits how far an attacker can move. Teams enforce encryption for data in transit and use context-aware rules that consider who the user is, what device they use, and where they are connecting from. This approach helps prevent broad access even if a device is compromised. ...
