Zero Trust Posture

Zero Trust Posture is a security framework that assumes no entity—whether inside or outside an organisation's network—can be trusted by default.

Instead, every user, device, and application must be continuously verified and authenticated before being granted access to resources. Unlike traditional security models that rely on perimeter defences, Zero Trust emphasises strict access controls, least privilege principles, and ongoing monitoring to mitigate insider and external threats.

Key principles of Zero Trust Posture include:

  • Verifying identities and devices continuously.
  • Limiting access to only what is necessary (least privilege).
  • Monitoring and logging all activities for anomalies.

Implementing a Zero Trust Posture involves:

  • Using multi-factor authentication (MFA).
  • Segmenting networks to limit lateral movement.
  • Applying encryption and strict access policies.

 The Zero Trust approach helps organisations strengthen security by minimising the risk of breaches, even if attackers manage to bypass perimeter defences.
