Zero Trust without the buzzwords: what it actually means
NEO Campus Editorial23 January 20266 min read
Zero Trust is a model, not a product. The core idea: never trust based on network location alone. Every request is authenticated and authorised.
Identity is the new perimeter
Strong identity, MFA everywhere, and short-lived credentials replace VPN-style network trust.
Device posture matters
Decisions consider not just who but what device, in what state. Unmanaged or out-of-date devices get fewer permissions.
Start small
Apply Zero Trust to your admin tools first. Boil the ocean later — if ever.
