Zero trust architecture (ZTA) is rapidly gaining traction as organizations face growing cybersecurity threats, the rise of remote work, and the shift to cloud-first strategies. Unlike traditional security models, ZTA operates on the principle of "never trust, always verify," requiring continuous verification of every user and device before granting access. It emphasizes strict access controls and dynamic authentication to minimize risk. Key elements include consistent policy enforcement across networks, devices, and users.

• How is ZTA transforming traditional security models by emphasizing continuous verification and strict access controls?
• What are the growth avenues emerging in dynamic authentication, identity-based access control, and real-time threat detection?
• Why will compliance with standards like NIST 800-207 and frameworks like SASE play a crucial role in shaping ZTA implementation across sectors?
• How will the convergence of identity management solutions and network access control systems enable micro-segmentation, continuous monitoring, and endpoint security?
