ZTM, or Zero Trust Model, is a cybersecurity framework that assumes no user or device can be trusted by default, whether inside or outside an organization's network. It emphasizes strict identity verification and continuous monitoring to protect sensitive data and systems. This approach helps organizations reduce the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access. In a Zero Trust environment, access to resources is granted based on the principle of least privilege, meaning users only have access to the information necessary for their roles. This model often incorporates technologies like multi-factor authentication and encryption to enhance security and ensure that all interactions are verified and secure.
