Zero Trust architecture eliminates implicit trust — every access request is verified regardless of network location. Testing evaluates: does authentication enforce continuous verification (not just at session start)? Does microsegmentation actually prevent lateral movement? Can device posture be spoofed to bypass access controls? Are APIs and services individually authenticated? Do conditional access policies respond correctly to changing risk signals? And most critically: are there remaining trust paths that bypass the Zero Trust controls?
