Implementing Zero Trust Security

# Implementing Zero Trust Security

Zero trust security is essential for modern applications. Here's how to implement it.

## Core Principles

### 1. Never Trust, Always Verify
Verify every request regardless of source.

### 2. Least Privilege Access
Grant minimum necessary permissions.

### 3. Assume Breach
Design systems assuming compromise.

## Implementation Steps

1. **Identity Verification**
- Multi-factor authentication
- Strong password policies
- Biometric authentication

2. **Device Security**
- Device health checks
- Endpoint protection
- Regular updates

3. **Network Segmentation**
- Micro-segmentation
- Software-defined perimeters
- Zero trust network access

## Tools

- Okta for identity management
- Cloudflare Access for zero trust network
- AWS IAM for cloud security

## Conclusion

Zero trust is not optional in today's threat landscape.
