Zero Trust Architecture is a security model that assumes no user, service, or network is inherently trusted. Every access request must be continuously verified based on identity, context, and policy. Also known as zero trust security, it is essential for modern, distributed systems.
Modern systems span clouds, clusters, and remote users, making traditional network perimeters ineffective. Zero trust reduces blast radius, limits lateral movement, and improves security in dynamic, cloud-native environments.
Access decisions are made based on identity, device posture, location, and policy. Requests are authenticated and authorised continuously, and permissions are granted with least privilege. Monitoring and logging ensure ongoing validation.
BuildPiper applies zero trust principles across DevSecOps workflows by enforcing identity-based access, policy-driven approvals, and least-privilege controls for pipelines, environments, and deployments.
No. Zero trust applies to identity, access control, applications, pipelines, and infrastructure.
No. Firewalls still play a role, but zero trust adds identity- and context-based controls beyond the network perimeter.
BuildPiper enforces zero trust principles through access controls, policy enforcement, and auditability across the delivery and operations lifecycle.
