Zero Trust

What is Zero Trust?

Zero Trust is a security model based on the principle of never trust, always verify. No user and no device is considered trustworthy simply because of its location in the network. Every access request is individually checked and authorised.

How does Zero Trust work?

Each request is verified based on identity, device, context and permissions. It relies on strong authentication, the principle of least privilege and continuous logging of access.

Why does Zero Trust matter?

With mobile work, cloud services and external partners, there is no longer a secure internal network. Zero Trust reduces the risk that a single compromised account causes widespread damage.

How SecureCloud supports Zero Trust principles

SecureCloud implements core Zero Trust building blocks: multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, granular rights and a complete audit log. Advanced Access Management bundles these functions.

What does never trust, always verify mean?

It means no access is automatically considered trustworthy. Every request is verified regardless of its location in the network and must authenticate and be authorised.

What is the difference between Zero Trust and a traditional firewall?

A firewall mainly protects the boundary between inside and outside. Zero Trust verifies every individual access, including inside the network, and does not rely on a trusted internal network.

How do you introduce Zero Trust?

Step by step: strong authentication (MFA), role-based rights following least privilege, segmentation and continuous logging of access.
