Breach Containment
Compromised accounts have limited reach.
Technology Explained
Zero Trust: Trust Nothing, Verify Everything
Traditional security is a castle - strong walls, everything inside trusted. Zero Trust is an airport - everyone gets checked, every time. Because threats are often already inside.
What is it?
Zero Trust never automatically trusts anything:
Verify explicitly: Authenticate based on identity, location, device.
Least privilege: Only needed access, only as long as needed.
Assume breach: Design as if attackers are inside.
Conditional Access verifies logins. Application Control verifies programs. ITDR watches for compromised accounts.
Business Benefits
Insider Protection
Verification applies to everyone.
Remote Security
Same verification everywhere.
Compliance Ready
You can answer 'yes' to the access-control questions on client security questionnaires and Cyber Essentials, so security requirements stop costing you contracts.
Risks Without It
Implicit Trust
Traditional 'inside = trusted' lets attackers move freely.
Lateral Movement
Without Zero Trust, attackers spread everywhere.
Remote Access Risks
If someone's login is compromised, they can access your entire network remotely.
Excessive Permissions
Accumulated access becomes attack paths.
How Fresh Tech Implements This
We implement: Conditional Access, Intune device trust, Application Control, network segmentation, and ITDR.
