What is the recommendation in a zero-trust model before granting access to corporate applications and resources?

A core principle of zero trust is "never trust, always verify." Multifactor authentication strongly verifies user identity before access to corporate applications and resources is granted, even if the user is already on the network, aligning with the "assume breach" mentality.

While using strong passwords is good security practice, MFA goes beyond passwords to provide a much stronger verification of identity, which is essential for a zero-trust model.

The choice between wired and wireless networks is less critical in a zero-trust model, as access is granted based on identity and device posture, not network type.

Disconnecting from the network when inactive is a general security measure but does not directly address the zero-trust principle of continuous verification *before* granting access.
