Zero Trust security is an IT security model that requires strict identity verification for every person and device trying to access resources on a private network, whether they are inside or outside the perimeter of the network. No specific technology is associated with the Zero Trust architecture; It is a holistic approach to network security that incorporates several different principles and technologies. The traditional security of the IT network is based on the „castle-and-moat” concept. In that model, it's hard to gain access from outside the network, but everyone on the network is trusted by default. The problem with this approach is that once an attacker gains access to the network, he has free rein over everything inside.
