The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in its current draft of standards for zero trust architecture, defines zero trust in the following manner: “Zero trust is a cybersecurity paradigm focused on resource protection and the premise that trust is never granted implicitly but must be continually evaluated.” Zero trust security is, therefore, not only a product or an approach—it is a web of connected policies, practices, software, and hardware that create an entire zero-trust ecosystem.
According to CrowdStrike, zero trust is a security concept that requires all users, even those inside the organization’s enterprise network, to be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validating security configuration and posture before being granted or keeping access to applications and data.
Further, according to Akamai Technologies, zero trust is a network security model, based on a strict identity verification process. The framework dictates that only authenticated and authorized users and devices can access applications and data. At the same time, it protects those applications and users from advanced threats on the Internet”.
