Zero Trust Networking is a cybersecurity model developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Special Publication 800-207 that eliminates implicit trust in networks by enforcing strict identity verification for every user and device. It shifts security from perimeter-based defenses to a resource-centric approach, ensuring continuous validation of trust before granting access to enterprise assets, regardless of location. Core components include the Policy Engine (PE), Policy Administrator (PA), and Policy Enforcement Point (PEP), which work together to evaluate access requests based on identity, device health, and context. Supporting elements such as Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) systems, Threat Intelligence Feeds, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Identity Management Systems, and Data Access Policies provide real-time inputs to enforce least-privilege access and limit lateral movement. This technology is designed for cybersecurity professionals, network security engineers, and IT administrators responsible for protecting distributed resources across cloud and on-premises environments. It enables them to implement robust access controls, improve threat detection, and maintain compliance in complex, hybrid work environments where traditional network boundaries no longer apply.
