Zero Trust Architecture

Secure your enterprise with zero trust principles through interactive lab simulations and policy modeling

Start Lab View Model

3 Zero Trust Pillars

Verify Explicitly

All users, devices, and services must be explicitly verified before being granted access, regardless of their location within or outside the network perimeter.

Least Privilege

Enforce the minimum level of access required to perform a task, and continually reassess permissions as context changes.

Assume Breach
Continuously monitor and evaluate risk to detect anomalies and prevent lateral movement, even within secured segments.

Zero Trust Architecture

Zero Trust architecture replaces the traditional "trust but verify" model by enforcing strict identity verification for every access request, regardless of origin location.

Implement Zero Trust Policies

Create and test microsegmentation rules using network policy language syntax

zero-trust # policy create

principal:

user:group_admin@domain.com

resource:

app-sever01

action:

read, write

condition:

MFA=required and IP=192.168.1.0/24

Policy applied successfully: 
    • Rule zero-policy-4427 updated
    • Enforcing MFA verification for admin access
    • Restricting to IP range 192.168.1.0/24
    • Valid for 24 hours from 2025-08-20 14:30

Implementation Best Practices

Strong Identity Foundation

Implement OAuth, SAML, or Kerberos for robust authentication. Require 2-factor authentication for privileged access.

Microsegmentation

Divide network into secure zones. Each workload must prove trust before accessing any resource, regardless of location.

Access Control

deny { user:alice, resource:db } unless mfa=true and ip=192.168.1.5

Continuous Monitoring

Connection Policy

82% compliance

Policy Editor

allow = require(otp_secret && location <= trusted_zone)
