Zero trust security: a practical guide for SMEs

This paper provides a practical, business focused introduction to zero trust security, aimed at owners and senior IT leaders in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). It explains why traditional perimeter based security models are no longer fit for purpose in modern business environments characterised by remote working, cloud services, third party access, and increasing automation. 

Zero trust is presented as an architectural approach built around two core principles: never trust, always verify and assume a breach. By continuously validating users, devices, and systems and enforcing least privilege access, zero trust has the potential of helping organisations limit the impact of security incidents in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
