Zero-Trust for Small Business: No Longer Just for Tech Giants

Zero Trust replaces broad network trust with continuous verification of users, devices, and access requests. The article focuses on least-privilege access, network segmentation, multi-factor authentication, identity controls, and modern cloud security services. It recommends beginning with the most valuable data and systems, documenting access policies, reviewing permissions regularly, and extending protections to remote workers. The broader point is that Zero Trust has become practical for smaller organizations and should be treated as an ongoing security strategy rather than a one-time project.
