Zero Trust Explained Through Identity Risk

Zero Trust is easier to understand when it is drawn as a relationship map. A user, device, identity provider, SaaS app, API, cloud resource, and data store all carry different risk signals.

Missing MFA, stale API tokens, public storage, and over-permissioned accounts are not isolated issues. They combine into attack paths and business exposure.

A good access review assistant should explain the risk, the security control, the automation opportunity, and the business impact for each node.
