Zero Trust Enterprise (Design Guide)
This overview introduces Palo Alto Networks’ Zero Trust strategy, emphasizing verification at every access point—users, devices, applications, and data. It debunks the myth of perimeter-based trust and explains how Zero Trust reduces lateral movement and insider threat risks. Using next-gen firewalls, identity-based policies, and advanced threat prevention (like WildFire and URL filtering), it enables precise access control. The approach includes continuous trust validation, least-privileged access, and granular visibility. Real-world benefits include improved incident containment, simplified compliance, and stronger cloud and SaaS protection, all delivered through a unified platform that adapts to hybrid environments.
