Zero Trust Model Review

These flashcards review key concepts and details related to the Zero Trust model in cybersecurity.

What does Zero Trust mean in cybersecurity?

A security model that requires verification for every access request, assuming no user or system is trusted by default.

Why is the Zero Trust model important?

It enhances security by minimizing trust among users and systems, thereby reducing the risk of data breaches.

What is a core principle of Zero Trust architecture?

Always verify, regardless of whether the access request comes from inside or outside the network.

What is one key component of implementing a Zero Trust strategy?

Identity and access management (IAM) to ensure proper authentication and authorization for all users.

In a Zero Trust environment, what role does data encryption play?
