Zero Trust Architecture on Azure enforces continuous identity verification and device validation before granting access to any resource. User authentication flows through an Identity Provider and Multi-Factor Authentication to a Policy Engine, which evaluates device compliance and applies access policies via a Secure Access Gateway. This gateway controls traffic to Applications, Databases, and File Servers while all activity feeds into Continuous Monitoring & Logging for real-time threat detection. Zero Trust eliminates implicit trust, reducing breach surface area and meeting compliance requirements for regulated workloads.
