What Is the Zero Trust Security Model? | Huntress

Zero Trust Security is a framework that requires continuous verification of users and systems rather than trusting based on network location or initial authentication. The model operates on the principle that no user, device, or connection should be automatically trusted and implements verification at every access point to reduce attack surface and lateral movement risks.

Why it matters: Security practitioners should understand Zero Trust principles to evaluate and redesign access controls, as this approach significantly limits the impact of breaches by eliminating the assumption of trust that attackers exploit once inside a network.
