Zero Trust Architecture

Zero Trust Architecture is an enterprise cybersecurity philosophy predicated on the principle: "Never trust, always verify."

Unlike traditional perimeter-based security (the "castle and moat" model), Zero Trust assumes that threats exist both inside and outside the network. Therefore, it requires continuous, strict identity verification and device authorization for every access request, regardless of the origin.

Implementing Zero Trust is a foundational requirement for securing modern, distributed data architecture and preventing catastrophic data exfiltration when deploying internal AI systems.
