Example Concept: Zero Trust Architecture in a hybrid cloud involves segmenting networks, enforcing strict identity and access management (IAM), and continuously monitoring and validating user and device identities. This includes implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA), using micro-segmentation to limit lateral movement, and deploying security information and event management (SIEM) systems to detect and respond to threats in real-time. By applying these principles, organizations can reduce the attack surface and enhance security posture across both on-premises and cloud environments.
