What does the concept of 'zero trust' entail in Illumio?

The concept of 'zero trust' in Illumio emphasizes that no individual or system should be trusted by default, regardless of its origin within the network. This means that every access request must undergo verification, irrespective of where the user is located—be it inside or outside the organization's network perimeter. This approach ensures that security is maintained by implementing strict access controls and continuously validating users and devices before granting them access to resources.

By adopting a zero trust model, Illumio enhances the security posture of an organization by minimizing the risk of unauthorized access and potential breaches. It encourages a proactive stance on security, requiring authentication and authorization for each access attempt, thereby safeguarding sensitive data and applications more effectively.
