zero trust
About this tag
Zero trust is a recurring theme across WindowsForum.com discussions, appearing in contexts ranging from Microsoft's tightened Cloud Solution Provider security with GDAP and partner vetting to CISA's TIC 3.0 guidance for federal agencies. The tag covers identity modernization for multifunction printers via CAC/PIV authentication, secretless workload identity federation for AI agents, encrypted DNS in Windows Server 2025, and browser-only access policies that restrict local downloads. Microsoft's Windows Office Hours events also address zero trust policy sprawl alongside device management and Windows 11 adoption. These threads consistently emphasize moving beyond perimeter-based security toward explicit verification, least-privilege access, and continuous monitoring across users, devices, workloads, and data.
