What is zero trust and why is IT important?

Question

Accepted Answer

What happened to our network perimeters? Historically, networks were considered either trusted or untrusted. Trusted networks were typically your local network within your organization where you and your co-workers worked together. Untrusted networks were typically the public network, or internet. A level of trust was assumed on the inside or trusted network, but the outside or internet network was not trusted. A firewall (security appliance) would sit between the two networks policing what can or cannot get through. In todays’ world, there is often no single employee network, and co-workers are all over the globe. There is no longer a trusted network, and everything must be considered untrusted. In todays’ world, there is often no single employee network, and co-workers are all over the globe. There is no longer a trusted network, and everything must be considered untrusted. Networks perimeters are a thing of the past. And with the cloud, network and system infrastructure is no longer in one place either.
