The Zero Trust model operates on the principle of 'never trust, always verify,' necessitating strict identity verification for every access request, whether the resource is located on-premises or in the cloud. Azure Active Directory plays a pivotal role in this model by managing identities and ensuring that only authenticated and authorized users can access resources. Furthermore, Azure Security Center and Azure Policy are instrumental in continuously assessing and enforcing security compliance across hybrid environments. This approach not only addresses the company's concerns regarding the protection of sensitive data and compliance with industry regulations but also ensures a robust and consistent security framework across all resources.
