Why do you need Zero Trust security in the cloud? How does Zero Trust Architecture solve today's challenges in cloud security?

Zero Trust security assumes all resources inside and outside the network are untrusted and require authentication and authorization before access is granted.

This approach is critical in cloud environments where sensitive data and applications are often accessed from various devices and locations.

Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) divides the network into smaller zones, each with its own access controls.

ZTA is based on the principle of "never trust, always verify," meaning that access to resources is continuously monitored and evaluated based on the user's identity, device, location, and other contextual factors.

ZTA addresses several challenges in cloud security, such as

  • The complex and dynamic nature of cloud environments, where resources are constantly changing, and new applications are frequently added.
  • The challenge of securing data and applications across multiple clouds and environments, including private, public, and hybrid clouds.
  • The need to comply with regulatory compliances that require strict access controls and data protection measures.
