The New Shape of Zero Trust
With data, users, and devices spread across hybrid and cloud environments, securing access requires a modern approach. The infographic, "The New Shape of Zero Trust," illustrates Microsoft's AI-enhanced Zero Trust architecture. It is one that continuously verifies identity, protects data everywhere, and simplifies control across networks, endpoints, and apps. View this infographic to see how Zero Trust adapts to the AI era.

Zero Trust is a cybersecurity philosophy that operates under the assumption that everything is a potential threat. It is not a specific product, process, or technology, but rather a comprehensive approach that emphasizes continuous verification, least-privileged access, and the assumption of a breach.
Why is Zero Trust important now?
The importance of Zero Trust has grown significantly due to the rise in password attacks, which have jumped dramatically since 2021, and the increase in ransomware attacks from human-operated sources between 2022 and 2023. With projected costs of total attacks expected to rise by 2028, adopting a Zero Trust framework is essential for protecting data in a boundary-less world.
What are the key principles of Zero Trust?
Zero Trust is guided by three key principles: 1) Verify Explicitly - continuously authenticate and authorize users; 2) Use Least-Privileged Access - limit user access to only what is necessary; and 3) Assume a Breach - treat every situation as though a breach has occurred, ensuring proactive security measures are in place.
