What is Zero Trust Architecture?

Zero Trust Architecture treats a caller’s network location or device ownership as insufficient grounds for trust. Authentication and authorization apply to the requested resource.

Common principles include:

  • Verify explicitly: Authenticate and authorize using the evidence your policy requires
  • Least privilege: Grant the access needed for the task
  • Assume breach: Limit the effect of a compromised credential or system

The identity, device, and session controls depend on the implementation and deployment.

How LayerV Implements This

LayerV lets owners issue access links scoped to a resource, with expiry and supported policies. Use application sign-in when verified user identity is required. LayerV can complement existing identity, network, and application security controls.
