It doesn&#8217;t matter whether the user is inside the corporate network or connecting remotely. Every access request is treated as potentially dangerous.   <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1676\" data-end=\"1733\">Why traditional security is no longer enough<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1734\" data-end=\"2185\">In the past, companies relied mainly on perimeter protection, that is, safeguards that protect the network from the outside. The problem arises when an attacker overcomes this &#8220;external barrier.&#8221; Zero Trust eliminates this risk by applying verification at every stage and for every access.
