Zero Trust

A security model requiring continuous verification for every request, assuming no implicit trust regardless of origin. Core principles include least privilege access, micro-segmentation, and never trust, always verify.

Key Principles

  • Verify explicitly before granting access
  • Enforce least privilege for all entities
  • Assume breach in all environments
  • Secure all data in transit and at rest

Zero Trust for AI Agents (IBM, Jeff Crume)

  • Agentic AI (systems that act, not just think) expands attack surface through API interactions, tool calls, data movement, and sub-agent creation
  • Requires Zero Trust applied to:
  • Traditional security models insufficient for autonomous agent ecosystems
