Zero Trust Architecture

Never trust, always verify. Design a network where every request is authenticated, authorized, and encrypted — regardless of origin.

Core Principles

  • Verify explicitly — authenticate and authorize based on all available data points
  • Use least-privilege access — limit lateral movement with just-in-time and just-enough-access
  • Assume breach — segment networks, encrypt everywhere, monitor continuously

Implementation Layers

Identity

MFA, device health, risk-based conditional access

Network

Micro-segmentation, encrypted tunnels, no implicit trust

Data

Classification labels, encryption at rest and in transit

Workload

Service identity, mTLS between every component

Zero trust is not a product — it is a strategy. Start with identity, then expand to devices, networks, and workloads incrementally.
