The Zero Trust Model (ZTM) never assumes trust and always requires verification for anyone trying to access resources, making decisions based on multiple contextual factors such as user location, device security posture, and data sensitivity. This dynamic approach is in contrast to more static models such as Discretionary Access Control (DAC) or Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), which grant access based on predefined policies that do not change in real-time. Mandatory Access Control (MAC) enforces access policies based on classification levels but does not adapt to context after initial access is granted.
