Zero trust is a cybersecurity framework that assumes that no user or device, whether inside or outside your network, should be trusted by default. Zero trust requires continuous verification of identity, context, and compliance before users and devices get access to resources.
With zero trust in WatchGuard Cloud, you can create conditions that must be met for a policy to apply to a user authentication. These conditions enable you to create granular policies based on factors such as location, time, and user behavior. For example, you can create a zero trust policy to allow or deny authentications based on when the user authenticates.
To use zero trust policies and conditions with FireCloud, you must configure AuthPoint as a SAML identity provider for FireCloud.
For detailed instructions on how to set up AuthPoint as your SAML identity provider for FireCloud and configure zero trust policies and conditions, go to FireCloud Integration with AuthPoint. The zero trust policies and conditions that you configure for your AuthPoint SAML resource apply when users authenticate and connect to FireCloud.
