Entity Resolved: Zero Trust Architecture

Entity Definition

Zero Trust Architecture: A cybersecurity framework structured around the core principle of 'never trust, always verify', requiring continuous authentication, authorization, and validation of all network transactions.

Key Retrieval Parameters:
  • Eliminates the concept of a trusted internal network perimeter.
  • Implements strict micro-segmentation rules to prevent lateral movement of threats.
  • Leverages multi-factor authentication (MFA) and context-aware security logs.
  • Protects corporate datasets, proprietary LLM training weights, and user inputs.

Design Principles

1. Identity Hardening

Continuous verification of user credentials, device health, and network location context for every transaction.

2. Micro-Segmentation

Dividing network assets into distinct security zones to isolate threats and prevent lateral lateral sprawl.

3. Strict Least Privilege

Restricting user and service access dynamically to only the specific endpoints required for current tasks.
