Explanation

A Zero Trust security model operates on the principle of "never trust, always verify." This means that access must be continuously verified through strong authentication mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and identity verification, before granting or maintaining access to resources. Unlike traditional perimeter-based security models, Zero Trust assumes that threats could exist both inside and outside the network, making continuous authentication verification a fundamental requirement.
