Rather, a complex multicloud landscape requires a zero trust approach to protecting data.

Functionally, zero trust in a multicloud environment is like the security protocols people encounter as they navigate airports en route to their destinations.

Zero trust operates a bit like the airport security process, albeit across an exponentially larger and digital footprint.

Applying these zero trust pillars is critical as you cultivate a multicloud-by-design strategy, in which application workloads are deliberately allocated across on-premises, public and private clouds, colos and edge devices, based on factors such as performance, security and cost.

By applying the multiple security measures incorporated in a zero trust model to an intentional multicloud strategy you'll ensure that your organization's data and applications are protected across a complex, distributed environment.

Above all, remember this key maxim as you bake zero trust into your multicloud strategy: "Never trust, always verify."
