This course is designed to guide security professionals through the strategic shift from legacy perimeter defenses to a modern Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). Participants will master the fundamental principles of "never trust, always verify" and "least privilege access", and learn how to apply them across the Five Pillars of Zero Trust: Identity, Devices, Networks, Applications and Workloads, and Data. The course details the essential technical components, including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), micro-segmentation, continuous monitoring, and automation, providing a practical roadmap for designing, implementing, and maintaining a resilient, context-aware security posture in any environment.
