Never trust, always verify — identity-centric security model for modern distributed applications.
Five passes over the same idea, each from a different angle. Do them in order, or jump to whichever you need.
Zero Trust assumes no implicit trust based on network location. Every request must be authenticated, authorized, and encrypted. Principles: verify explicitly, use least privilege, assume breach. Implementation involves identity-aware proxies, micro-segmentation, continuous verification, and device compliance checks.
