Trust No One in the New Age of Digital Defence

Trust No One in the New Age of Digital Defence

- 

In today’s digital age, the phrase “no one is trusted” may sound harsh, even unsettling, but it has become the defining principle of modern cybersecurity.

The dramatic rise in cyberattacks, ransomware crippling hospitals, hackers breaching government servers, and phishing scams targeting ordinary users—has revealed how vulnerable our online systems are. The old notion that once you are inside a network, you are safe is no longer valid. The Zero-Trust model, now widely discussed across governments, corporations, and technology companies, insists that no user, device, or system should ever be trusted by default. Instead, every digital interaction must be continuously verified. This shift marks not just a technological adjustment, but a complete rethinking of how digital defence works in an interconnected society.
