Zero Trust Architecture
Zero Trust Architecture
📖 Definition
Zero Trust is a security model with the core principle of "never trust, always verify". It assumes that both inside and outside the network are insecure, and every request needs to verify identity and permissions, minimizing attack surface and lateral movement risks.
🔗 How Higress Uses This

💡 Examples
- 1 Even intranet requests require identity authentication
- 2 Principle of least privilege limits access scope
