Abstract

The landscape of cybersecurity has undergone a profound transformation in recent years as organizations grapple with increasingly sophisticated and persistent cyber threats. Traditional security models, which rely heavily on perimeter defenses, have proven insufficient in protecting the modern enterprise. This has led to a growing adoption of zero-trust architecture, a fundamentally different approach to security that challenges the conventional trust-based assumptions of network protection. Zero-trust architecture operates on the principle that no user or device, whether inside or outside the network, should be trusted by default. Instead, every access request is rigorously verified, and strict access controls are enforced throughout the network.
