Zero‑trust is becoming the default security model for cloud‑native applications. In this post we explore its core principles, how to implement it with Azure services, and common pitfalls to avoid.

Key Principles

Implementation Steps

  1. Identify critical assets.
  2. Establish strong identity governance.
  3. Apply network segmentation using Azure Firewall and Virtual WAN.
  4. Continuous monitoring with Azure Sentinel.
