Minimising Access Risk
Maximising Identity Protection
Zero Trust works on the principles of explicitly verifying where authentications are authorised on all available data points, least Privileged Access to limit user access with just-in-time and just-enough-access risk-based adaptive policies and assume Breach to minimise the blast radius and verify end-to-end encryption across your cyber landscape.

- Use least privileged access - limit user access with just-in-time and just-enough-access, risk-based policies, and data protection to help secure both data and productivity.

FAQs
Is Zero Trust an actual Microsoft 365 product?
No, it is a collective term to describe multiple products and practices which when employed together provide a modern security canvas for organisations, with identity as the key component.
Do I need to implement all of the Microsoft 365 tools and features available that relate to the principles of Zero Trust?
The more you protect yourself, and the more visibility and insights you have, the better. However, it is not a requirement to deploy all of these technologies, and which you deploy will be unique to your organisations own story. Many features such as MFA can be implemented quickly and easily to improve your security posture. Other services such as Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps required much more time and planning to determine if they will be of value to your organisation.
