Episode 6 — Zero Trust Principles: Never Trust, Always Verify (1.1)
This episode introduces Zero Trust as a security model based on continuous verification, least privilege, and the assumption that compromise may already exist inside or outside the network. For the exam, students should understand that Zero Trust is not a single product but an approach to evaluating every access request using identity, device posture, location, application sensitivity, behavior, and risk. Examples include requiring strong authentication, checking device health, segmenting applications, limiting lateral movement, and monitoring user and workload activity. In real environments, Zero Trust helps reduce damage when credentials, endpoints, or trusted network locations are compromised.
