Problem Statement
What is the Zero Trust model, and how does it differ from traditional network security?
Explanation
Zero Trust is a modern security model that assumes no user, device, or system should be trusted by default — even if it is inside the organization’s network.
Traditional security models often trusted everything within the internal network once someone passed the firewall. Zero Trust removes this assumption. Every request must be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated.
It relies on the principles of least privilege, micro-segmentation, and continuous monitoring, minimizing the damage that could occur if a breach happens.
