Zero Trust Architecture in a Decentralized World: Redefining Cybersecurity Strategies
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cybersecurity strategies centered on the perimeter are becoming outdated in the face of new threats, especially as more and more enterprises move towards decentralized models and remote labor. A new paradigm in network and data security, Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is revolutionizing the way businesses keep their systems safe. Zero Trust is different from previous models because it follows the philosophy of "never trust, always verify," which means that all users, devices, and apps must undergo continuous authentication and authorization processes independent of their location or network access. the application of Zero Trust Architecture in a decentralized setting, dissecting its fundamental parts including identity and access management, micro-segmentation, and multi-factor authentication. This paper shows how ZTA may reduce risks in distributed infrastructures, cloud settings, and with remote workers by analyzing real-world applications and providing case studies. Additionally, the article delves into the difficulties that organizations encounter while implementing ZTA, such as integration issues and worries about scalability. In an increasingly decentralized digital ecosystem, Zero Trust provides a proactive approach to preserving key assets by reinventing cybersecurity techniques.
