The zero trust model of information security assumes there are no trusted interfaces, applications, traffic, networks, or users. It requires that all resources be accessed securely on a need-to-know basis and that systems verify and never trust. The model has shifted from protecting networks from outside attacks to also guarding against inside threats, as the primary attack vector has changed from outside-in to inside-out. Implementing a zero trust model involves deploying technologies like next-generation firewalls, sandboxing, and access control to securely verify all users and protect resources.
