Zero trust controls are in place, yet security incidents still occur.
This feels contradictory to what zero trust promises.
I’m trying to understand what zero trust protects against and what it doesn’t.

I’m trying to understand what zero trust protects against and what it doesn’t.
Zero trust reduces implicit trust but doesn’t eliminate all attack vectors. If credentials are compromised or authorization policies are overly permissive, attackers can still gain access—just with more friction.
Many breaches occur because zero trust is only partially implemented. Identity may be enforced, but monitoring, segmentation, or continuous verification may be weak or inconsistent.
Zero trust improves resilience, but it doesn’t make systems breach-proof.
Takeaway: Zero trust lowers risk, it doesn’t eliminate it.
