What is Zero Trust?

According to a 2021 Microsoft commissioned Forrester study, “Zero Trust is a proactive, integrated approach to security across all digital layers that explicitly and continuously verifies every transaction, asserts least privilege, and relies on intelligence, advanced detection, and real-time response to defend against threats.” When implementing Zero Trust, organizations should adhere to the following principles:

Verify explicitly. Always authenticate and authorize based on all available data points, including user identity, location, device health, service or workload, data classification, and anomalies.
Use least privilege access. Limit user access with just-in-time (JIT) and just-enough-access (JEA), risk-based adaptive policies, and data protection to help secure both data and productivity.
Assume breach. Minimize the blast radius and segment access. Verify end-to-end encryption and use analytics to get visibility, drive threat detection, and improve defenses.
