Zero Trust relies on continuously re-authorizing users, applications, and devices to establish myriad \u201cperimeters of one\u201d in the environment, but the name isn\u2019t quite accurate.<\/p>\n

Zero Trust doesn\u2019t literally mean zero trust; it means zero implicit <\/em>trust. You\u2014whether that means a person, or a software or hardware system\u2014are not to be trusted simply by virtue of where you are on the network; there is no network perimeter within which you are automatically trusted to connect to services. And you are not to be trusted now<\/em> just because you were trusted when you first gained access to the network; gaining admission once is not the same thing as ongoing trust. And you are not to be trusted to make the new service connection you are trying to make now just because you were trusted to make the previous one.<\/p>\n
