The Zero Trust Security course by Uplatz teaches the next generation of cybersecurity principles — where trust is never assumed and verification is continuous. Learners explore how to design and implement Zero Trust architectures (ZTA) using AI-driven identity management, network segmentation, encryption, and behavioural analytics to secure hybrid and cloud-native environments.
What is it?
Traditional network security assumes that users and systems inside an organisation’s perimeter are trustworthy. Zero Trust Security challenges this assumption with the philosophy “never trust, always verify.” Every user, device, and application must continuously prove its legitimacy before accessing resources.
This course provides a deep dive into Zero Trust frameworks such as NIST SP 800-207, covering core components including identity and access management (IAM), micro-segmentation, encryption, AI-powered monitoring, and risk-based authentication. You’ll learn to implement Zero Trust principles using tools like Microsoft Entra, Okta, Palo Alto Prisma, and Zscaler while aligning with real-world enterprise architectures.
How to use this course
-
Begin with traditional and modern cybersecurity fundamentals.
-
Learn the Zero Trust principles — users, devices, and data are never implicitly trusted.
-
Understand access control models and network segmentation.
-
Implement identity-driven authentication systems using AI analytics.
-
Set up Zero Trust in cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments.
-
Use AI-based monitoring tools for anomaly and threat detection.
-
Complete the capstone project designing a Zero Trust architecture blueprint for an enterprise network.
By the end, you will master the design, deployment, and monitoring of Zero Trust frameworks that align with global cybersecurity best practices and AI-driven automation.
-
Understand the evolution from perimeter-based to Zero Trust Security.
-
Learn core Zero Trust principles — verification, least privilege, and segmentation.
-
Design secure, identity-aware network architectures.
-
Implement IAM and risk-based authentication mechanisms.
-
Deploy micro-segmentation to limit lateral movement.
-
Integrate AI for behaviour-based anomaly detection.
-
Secure cloud and hybrid infrastructure using Zero Trust principles.
-
Apply encryption, MFA, and continuous monitoring.
-
Align with NIST and ISO cybersecurity frameworks.
-
Prepare for enterprise security, compliance, and risk management roles.

-
What is Zero Trust Security?
A security model that assumes no user, device, or system should be trusted by default, regardless of location. -
What are the core principles of Zero Trust?
Verify explicitly, use least-privilege access, and assume breach. -
What problem does Zero Trust solve?
It mitigates the risks of insider threats, credential theft, and lateral movement in networks. -
What are the main components of a Zero Trust architecture?
IAM, micro-segmentation, continuous verification, and data encryption. -
What is micro-segmentation?
Dividing networks into smaller zones to isolate and control access between workloads. -
How does AI enhance Zero Trust?
AI analyses user behaviour, detects anomalies, and automates adaptive access decisions. -
What is least-privilege access?
Giving users and systems the minimum permissions required to perform their tasks. -
What frameworks define Zero Trust standards?
NIST SP 800-207 and the Forrester Zero Trust eXtended (ZTX) model. -
How does Zero Trust apply in the cloud?
Through identity-based access, encryption, and policy-driven controls for all cloud resources. -
What challenges exist in adopting Zero Trust?
Integration complexity, legacy infrastructure, and balancing user experience with strict access controls.
