Zero Trust - Explained

“Zero Trust” sounds dramatic. It’s actually pretty simple.

Zero Trust doesn’t mean you don’t trust your employees.

It means your systems don’t automatically trust anything just because:• it’s inside your network• it logged in once• it “worked fine yesterday”

Instead, Zero Trust asks:

• Who are you?

• Are you allowed to access this thing?

• Are you doing it from a safe device and location?

  
  

  

Every time. Quietly. In the background.

Think of it like: Not a locked front door……but individual locks on the rooms that matter.

If one account gets compromised, the damage stays small instead of spreading everywhere.

Most businesses already have pieces of Zero Trust (MFA, device checks, conditional access).They just don’t realise it yet.

Plain English takeaway: Zero Trust isn’t about paranoia. It’s about limiting blast radius when something goes wrong.

And something always goes wrong.
