Zero Trust Methods
In this lesson you’ll learn about practical deployment resources, requirements for Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA), and foundational capabilities that allow for the evaluation and refinement of safeguards. Plus, you’ll categorize identity-, device-, network-, application, and data-centric safeguards that enable zero trust architecture.
