Zero Trust is a mindset that assumes no implicit trust, requiring continuous verification of every user, device, and resource. To succeed, organizations must adapt culture, architecture, and technology with context-aware controls, MFA, microsegmentation, and continuous monitoring. Business benefits include stronger data protection, regulatory compliance, improved continuity, and customer trust. Challenges include legacy systems, stakeholder resistance, and balancing security with user experience. A roadmap involves removing implicit access, applying least privilege, encrypting data, and monitoring activities. Core technologies like PAM, MFA, ITDR, and adaptive IAM form the foundation for identity-centered Zero Trust.
