This week's term → Zero Trust - /ˈzɪr.oʊ trʌst/
Definition → this is a security strategy for modern multicloud networks, focusing on enforcing security policies for each individual connection between users, devices, applications and data.
Why it matters → Zero trust operates on the principle of “never trust, always verify” rather than granting implicit trust to all users inside a network. This helps address the cybersecurity risks posed by remote workers, hybrid cloud services, personally owned devices and other elements of today’s corporate networks.
