What is ZTA?

ZTA stands for Zero Trust Architecture. It is a security model based on the principle of 'never trust, always verify.' ZTA assumes that threats exist both inside and outside the traditional network perimeter. It requires strict identity verification for every person and device trying to access resources on a private network, regardless of whether they are sitting within or outside of the organization's network perimeter. Common uses involve implementing multi-factor authentication, microsegmentation, and continuous monitoring to minimize the attack surface and prevent unauthorized access.
