What is True Zero Trust? by ZScaler

Businesses are embracing zero trust to accelerate secure digital transformation. But navigating the sea of “zero trust” solutions can be a challenge. It’s important to know what differentiates a true zero trust solution from one that merely uses the name.

True Zero Trust

Does Not	Does
Use perimeter-based firewalls and VPNS to extend a flat network to remote users, which increases the attack surface.	Assume that everything is hostile or compromised, only granting access based on whether it can:
Trust Implicitly: Assume known users, apps, and devices are trustworthy.	Verify Identity and Context: Terminate the connection and verify identity and context by understanding the ‘who’, ‘what’, and ‘where’ of the request
Put Users on a Network: Make use of a routable network for user and app traffic, which facilitates lateral movement.	Control Content and Access: Evaluate the risk associated with connection requests and inspect traffic for cyberthreats and sensitive data
Allow Passthrough Traffic: Allow encrypted traffic without inspecting for threats and sensitive data.	Enforce Policy Per-session Decision, and Enforcement: Enforce policy before connecting to internal or external applications
