Zero Trust Glossary Definition

Zero Trust is a security strategy that assumes no user, device, network, or workload should be trusted automatically.

Zero Trust is a DevOps security concept that integrates security, compliance, and risk controls into software delivery and operational workflows.

Zero Trust gives security, IT, compliance, and business teams a shared term for discussing protection, accountability, and operational risk.

Security, development, and operations teams use this concept to make security checks continuous instead of treating them as a late-stage review.

Related concepts include DevOps, DevSecOps, Security Automation and Software Supply Chain.
