Zero-trust in one page
The core idea, without the marketing.
Published by CloudFixies · 02 September 2025
The three principles
- Verify explicitly — never trust based on network position. Least privilege — the smallest access that lets someone do the job. Assume breach — design so a compromised account causes limited blast radius.
What this means for AI agents
Agents run under user identity, use scoped tools, and log every action. That is zero-trust in AI form.
◆ Takeaway
Explicit verification, least privilege, assumed breach. The rest is implementation.
