According to NIST, what are the key principles of Zero Trust Architecture?

According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the following key principles define Zero Trust Architecture:

  • Strict access control: Policies ensure that only authorized users and devices can access sensitive data or resources.
  • Continuous monitoring: Detect potential threats and respond to them quickly.
  • Assume breach: Consider the network is already compromised and that attackers could be present inside the perimeter.
  • Least privilege: Users and devices can access only the data they need to perform their tasks.
  • Micro-segmentation: Create smaller, more manageable networks with exclusive security controls.
  • Automation: Enforce access policies, detect anomalies, and respond to real-time security incidents.
