Example Concept: Zero Trust Architecture in a hybrid cloud environment focuses on the principle of "never trust, always verify." This involves implementing strong identity and access management (IAM) controls, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and least privilege access. Network segmentation is critical to isolate workloads and minimize lateral movement. Continuous monitoring and logging are essential to detect and respond to threats in real-time, leveraging tools like SIEM for comprehensive visibility. Adopting frameworks like NIST SP 800-207 can guide the structured implementation of Zero Trust principles.
