verify explicitly
What is zero trust?
Always authenticate and authorise based on all available data points.
Limit user access with Just-In-Time and Just-Enough-Access (JIT/ JEA), risk-based adaptive policies, and data protection.
Minimise blast radius and segment access. Verify end-to-end encryption and use analytics to get visibility, drive threat detection, and improve defences.
Verify explicity
Use least privilege access
Assume breach
The Problem
Implicit or explicit trust
- Security is the opposite of productivity.
- All attacks can be prevented.
- Network security perimeter will keep attackers out.
- Passwords are strong enough.
- IT Admins are safe.
- IT Infrastructure is safe.
- Developers always write secure code.
- The software and components we use are secure.
The Solution
Systematically Build & Measure Trust
- Business Enablement - align security to the organization’s mission, priorities, risks, and processes.
- Assume Compromise - continuously reduce blast radius and attack surface through prevention and detection/ response/recovery.
- Shift to Asset-Centric Security Strategy - revisit how to do access control, security operations, infrastructure and development security, and more.
- Explicitly Validate Account Security - require MFA and analyze all user sessions with behaviour analytics, threat intelligence, and more.
- Plan and Execute Privileged Access Strategy - establish security of accounts, workstations, and other privileged entities (aka.ms/spa).
- Validate Infrastructure Integrity - explicitly validate trust of operating systems, applications, services accounts, and more.
- Integrate Security into Development Process - security education, issue detection and mitigation, response, and more.
- Supply Chain Security - validate the integrity of software and hardware components from open source. vendors, and others.

Five steps to apply Zero Trust
Top-Tier Security Tailored for You
Zero Trust is a security framework that operates on the principle of "never trust, always verify," meaning no user, device, or application is inherently trusted, and access to resources is granted only after rigorous authentication and authorization, regardless of location.
