Zero Trust

Overview

Zero Trust is a cybersecurity framework built on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” Unlike perimeter-based models, Zero Trust assumes that both internal and external networks may be compromised. Every user, device, and transaction must be continuously authenticated, authorized, and validated.
In compliance, Zero Trust strengthens data protection, reduces insider threats, and aligns with regulatory requirements such as GDPR, NIST, and PCI DSS. For financial institutions, it helps secure sensitive data flows, onboarding platforms, and APIs that handle KYC/AML checks. Implementing Zero Trust involves identity and access management (IAM), multi-factor authentication, micro-segmentation, and continuous monitoring . It ensures that security is risk-based, adaptive, and resilient against evolving threats.
