Zero Trust isn't a product you buy; it's a security philosophy. The core principle: never trust, always verify. Every user, device, and connection must prove it belongs before accessing resources.
For small businesses, Zero Trust starts with identity. Implement MFA everywhere, use conditional access policies, and verify devices before granting access to sensitive data.
Network segmentation is another key principle. Don't let a compromised laptop access everything. Limit what each user and device can reach based on their actual needs.
Start small: enforce MFA, audit who has access to what, and remove unnecessary permissions. You don't need a million-dollar budget to adopt Zero Trust principles.
Key takeaways
- Zero Trust is a strategy: verify identity, device, and access every time.
- Start with MFA + conditional access and remove unnecessary permissions.
- Segment access so one compromised device can’t reach everything.
- Adopt it iteratively with small, measurable improvements instead of one big project.
