Zero Trust for Microsoft 365: Essential Protection for Modern Work

Zero-Trust_Thumbnail

Strengthening security in Microsoft 365 means going beyond passwords and firewalls. A true Zero Trust approach ensures every user, device, and access request is explicitly verified, authorised, and continuously monitored.

Core Principles of Zero Trust

  • Verify Explicitly: Authenticate and authorise based on all available data points – identity, location, device health, and risk signals.

  • Least Privileged Access: Provide only the access required, for the shortest possible time. Just-in-Time (JIT) and Just-Enough-Access (JEA) help reduce unnecessary exposure.

  • Assume Breach: Design with the expectation that attackers may already be inside. Limit damage with segmented access, enforce encryption, and use analytics for detection and defence.
