The term "Zero Trust security" refers to a cybersecurity model that eliminates implicit trust from networks and requires all users and devices to be continuously verified before being granted access to resources. The implementation of the Zero Trust security involves two distinct components: a Data Plane, responsible for defining and managing security policies, and a Control Plane, responsible for enforcing the security policies established by the Data Plane.
