Understanding trends in zero-trust security architecture

Miles SpencerScience and Technology

Zero-trust security is an architectural approach that assumes no user, device, or application should be trusted by default, even when operating inside a corporate network. Access decisions are continuously evaluated using identity, device posture, context, and behavior. This model contrasts with perimeter-based security, which implicitly trusts users once they are inside the network.Cloud Adoption and the Dissolving Network PerimeterOne of the strongest trends driving zero-trust adoption is the rapid migration to cloud and hybrid environments. Organizations increasingly rely on multiple public clouds, software-as-a-service platforms, and APIs that extend beyond traditional firewalls.Workloads shift fluidly between different environments, rendering fixed network perimeters…
