In a Zero Trust Model, the Control Plane continuously evaluates access requests against defined security policies, considering factors such as identity, device, and context. When an access request is deemed valid by the Control Plane, it instructs the Data Plane to establish a secure, encrypted connection between the authenticated user or device and the requested resource. The Data Plane enforces the access decision made by the Control Plane, ensuring that only authorized traffic is allowed. This interaction between the Control Plane and Data Plane enables granular, policy-driven access control, reducing the overall threat scope by granting access on a need-to-know basis.
