It operates on three core principles: never trust, always verify; assume breach; and least privileged access. ZTA relies on strong authentication, micro-segmentation, continuous monitoring, and policy-based access controls to enhance security. While offering enhanced visibility, control, and compliance, implementing ZTA can be complex and requires careful planning. Integrating tools like Cerbos can help streamline this process for developers. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
