Understanding Zero Trust & Navigating the Transition to Zero Trust Architecture

The basic principles of Zero Trust (ZT) are easy to understand since they require continuous access decision-making across the entire IT architecture. No user gets a pass to roam freely simply because they have a tie to the organization and/or a password. Interrogating every request significantly reduces the risk a breach. Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is the implementation of ZT principles into an IT network, with all the necessary assessments, planning, policies, and controls on a constant basis.

To make this material as understandable and interesting as possible, we use metaphors to communicate key elements of ZTA.
