Introduction

This strategic course provides comprehensive guidance on designing, implementing, and managing Zero Trust architectures to enhance organizational security in modern IT environments. Participants will learn the principles, components, and deployment strategies for Zero Trust security models that assume no implicit trust granted to assets or user accounts based solely on their physical or network location. The course covers identity-centric security, micro-segmentation, continuous monitoring, and policy enforcement across hybrid environments. Through practical examples and implementation frameworks, learners will develop the expertise needed to transition from traditional perimeter-based security to Zero Trust models.
