Security model that requires verification for every access request, regardless of location. Like requiring ID checks every time someone enters a building, even if they work there.
With Zero Trust, even employees inside the company network must authenticate and prove authorization before accessing any resource.
Zero Trust is a security model, not a single product. These services help implement Zero Trust by enforcing strong identity checks, device/context signals, and least-privilege access to apps and APIs. AWS Verified Access and GCP BeyondCorp focus on identity-aware access to applications without relying on network location. Microsoft Entra Conditional Access applies policy-based access controls using identity, device compliance, and risk signals. OCI IAM provides core identity, authentication, authorization, and policy controls that are commonly combined with network segmentation and endpoint controls to build a Zero Trust architecture.
