The zero trust model requires strict identity and device verification, regardless of the user's location in relation to the network perimeter. A network that implements the zero trust model is referred to as a zero trust network. The traditional approach to network security is known as the castle-and-moat model. The focus of this concept is that gaining access to a network from the outside is difficult, but once inside the firewall, users are automatically trusted. While there are various technologies and principles that can be used to enforce zero trust security, the basic fundamentals include the following: - Microsegmentation -- Security perimeters and network components are broken into smaller segments, each of which has its own access requirements.
