If your core infrastructure has vulnerabilities, it weakens the entire foundation of your Zero Trust strategy. To make sure your security controls do what they’re supposed to, you need a hardened environment. That’s where a strong vulnerability management program comes in as it helps uncover weaknesses in endpoints, servers, and even your security tools, so your team can fix them before attackers take advantage.
So, what is Zero Trust?
It’s a cybersecurity approach built on the idea that no user or device is automatically trusted. Every access request is verified, and permissions are temporary, automatically revoked when no longer needed. This reduces the risk of lingering access that could be exploited.
The core principles of Zero Trust are simple:
- Trust nobody
- Verify everything
- Assume a breach
This guide will help you and your team establish the right environment for a successful Zero Trust program.
