The what, why and how of Zero Trust network architecture
Addressing challenges that traditional security models struggle to effectively secure
Add bookmark
Zero Trust security is a new approach to organizational cyber security. It aims to fix the flaws in traditional perimeter-based security and simplify network design. It operates on the principle of "never trust, always verify". This means that irrespective of where a user or device is and whether they've accessed a resource before, they need to be verified and authenticated before being given access again.
This whitepaper dives into the logical components that comprise a Zero Trust model and the key pillars of the Zero Trust "extended" ecosystem as Forrester calls it.
Along with this, the whitepaper also discusses the three possible approaches for implementing Zero Trust as defined by NIST. This includes the micro-segmentation-based approach which came from Forrester's initial definitions of Zero Trust, the identity governance-based approach which has gained popularity in recent years, and a network infrastructure based approach.
