As organisations face increasingly sophisticated threats, the traditional “trust but verify” approach is no longer sufficient. Instead, Zero Trust adopts a “never trust, always verify” mindset, ensuring that every user, device, and application is continuously authenticated and authorised before accessing critical systems or data.

At Origin Secured, Zero Trust is more than a concept, it is embedded in the very fabric of our solutions. Our mission is to enable organisations to share information securely, verify credentials with confidence, and maintain data integrity, all while operating in a Zero Trust environment.

Zero Trust is built on three core principles:

1. Verify Every Access Request

   : Every user, device, and application must be authenticated and authorised before gaining access to resources.

2. Least Privilege Access

   : Users and systems should only have access to the data and applications they need to perform their tasks, nothing more.

3. Continuous Monitoring

   : Trust is not static. Even after access is granted, activity must be monitored for anomalies and potential threats.

How Origin Secured Brings Zero Trust to Life

Our technology is designed to help organisations implement Zero Trust principles seamlessly. By leveraging secure information sharing and decentralised verification, we ensure that access to sensitive data is tightly controlled, auditable, and continuously monitored.

For example, our solutions enable organisations to:

1. Authenticate and verify credentials

   in real-time, ensuring that only trusted users and devices can access critical systems.

2. Share sensitive information securely

   across teams, partners, and supply chains without compromising data integrity.

3. Monitor and audit access

   to create a transparent and tamper-proof record of interactions through our unique Event Chain technology.

A Real-World Use Case: Securing Defence Supply Chains

Consider the defence industry, in which supply chains are vast, complex, and often targets of cyberattacks. A Zero Trust approach ensures that every individual, supplier, contractor, and partner, is verified before accessing sensitive information or systems.

Using Origin Secured’s technology, defence organisations can:

1. Verify the identity and credentials of every individual or organisation, and ensure they meet strict access permission requirements.

2. Share classified information securely, with full visibility into who accessed it and when.

3. Detect and respond to anomalies in real-time, preventing unauthorised access or data breaches.

By adopting Zero Trust principles, organisations in the defence sector can significantly reduce their attack surface, protect sensitive data, and build resilience against emerging threats.

Zero Trust: The Future of Security

Zero Trust is not just about technology; it is about a cultural shift in how we think about security. It is about moving beyond outdated models and embracing a future where trust is earned, not assumed.

At Origin Secured, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this transformation, helping organisations implement Zero Trust principles to protect their most valuable assets.
