Summary
In this module, you've learned about Zero Trust concepts that help organizations to manage, monitor, and secure their resources. You should now understand the approach to implementing a Zero Trust strategy and how critical it is for organizations to enforce the Zero Trust principles of verify explicitly, apply least privilege access, and always assume breach. With a Zero Trust strategy in place, every request is verified and authenticated before access to a resource is granted.
The traditional network security approach has become obsolete and isn't strong enough to keep up with today's rapidly evolving digital transformation. A Zero Trust strategy provides end-to-end visibility and control across all domains—identity, endpoints, applications, network, infrastructure, and data. This integrated approach ensures security policies are enforced uniformly across every layer of a digital estate and enables real-time automated threat protection.
Now that you've completed this module, you should be able to:
- Describe the Zero Trust approach and its principles.
- Explain Zero Trust as a security strategy.
- Define Zero Trust components.
