If you’re building on AWS/Azure/GCP and still relying on “VPN + perimeter” thinking, this guide shows how to implement Zero Trust for Cloud the right way—identity-first, step-by-step, with real examples you can apply to users, workloads, APIs, and admin access.
Zero Trust in cloud is simple in principle: never trust, always verify—every request, every time.
✅ Step 1: Identity becomes the perimeter (SSO, MFA, conditional access)
✅ Step 2: Least privilege by default (tight roles, scoped permissions, break-glass)
✅ Step 3: Secure service-to-service access (workload identity, short-lived tokens, mTLS)
✅ Step 4: Protect secrets & credentials (vault/KMS, rotation, no hardcoding)
✅ Step 5: Continuous verification (logs, detections, alerts, policy-as-code)
✅ Step 6: Assume breach (segment, limit blast radius, monitor everything)
