What is Zero Trust?
Security architecture: never trust, always verify. Every request authenticated regardless of network location.
Why It Matters
Zero Trust appears in production engineering decisions around security, identity, reliability, and platform operations. Understanding the term helps you read architecture diagrams, debug incidents, and choose safer defaults.
When you see Zero Trust in a course, article, architecture review, or incident write-up, connect it to the system boundary it protects, the team that owns it, and the failure mode it is meant to reduce.
