Zero Trust Security Model
“Never trust, always verify” – A security model that requires strict identity verification for everyone trying to access resources, regardless of location or network connection.
Key principles:
- Verify explicitly
- Use least privilege access
- Assume breach mentality
Data Backup Strategy (3-2-1)
- 3 copies of your data
- 2 different storage types
- 1 copy stored off-site
- Regularly test your backups
- Encrypt sensitive backup data
