zero-trust-architecture

To design a zero-trust architecture, provide your organization profile and asset inventory to outline a plan enforcing per-request authentication, authorization, and encryption across your enterprise networks and cloud-native environments.

Micro-segmentation in service-oriented architectures divides workloads into isolated security zones, enforcing continuous verification and per-access decisions at workload boundaries to prevent lateral movement and unauthorized access.

Continuous verification uses identity and device posture signals to authorize every action dynamically, evaluating trust per-access rather than relying on network location, ensuring only compliant devices and users gain entry.

Yes, you can apply policy-driven controls with PEP/PA integration to cloud-native environments, enforcing per-access decisions at the edge using short-lived tokens to secure workloads and networks continuously.

Yes, the zero-trust architecture aligns with NIST SP 800-207 by enforcing identity-centric authentication, micro-segmentation, continuous verification, and policy-driven controls to secure enterprise networks and service-oriented architectures.

Avoid zero-trust architecture if your environment lacks the ability to enforce per-request authentication, device posture checks, or policy-driven controls, as continuous verification requires strict identity and workload boundary enforcement.
