Episode 55 — Zero Trust Architecture: User, Device, and Application Decisions (3.2)
This episode explains Zero Trust architecture as a practical design approach where access decisions are based on identity, device health, application sensitivity, context, and risk. Students should understand that Zero Trust requires more than a strong login; it also depends on device inventory, posture checks, least privilege, segmentation, application access control, and continuous monitoring. A user with valid credentials may still be denied or limited if the device is unmanaged, the location is unusual, or the requested application contains sensitive data. For Security+ scenarios, students should evaluate each access request instead of assuming that internal networks, trusted devices, or familiar users are automatically safe.
