Zero Trust is a security model that assumes that all devices, users, and applications are threats until proven otherwise. However, the way most companies execute this idea is incomplete. Specifically, most security practitioners forget that device compliance is a crucial element of Zero Trust. Just because you recognize a device, doesn’t mean it’s in a secure state.
